Answer 1

I worked as a Cable tv.tech for well over 45 years I hope I can help you a little even though your question has nothing to do with my experience. Cable was started in the 1930's in W.Va. At that time radio reception was very poor(no tv) yet.The inventor LED wire down from a mountain top and the folks just through a wire over his wire.This led up to cable as we know it today.As time went on the small American towns didn't have their own tv stations so cable was expanded through out the town.An Antenna was put on top of a tower or hill hooked into the cable picking up signal from large city's and the people could then get something to view such as NBC,ABC&CBS.Soon after the educaters saw a way to reach our children and started PBS. Then the capitalest saw a way to get even richer.Most starting with Ted Turner when he had a number of cable systoms in Georgia he went on to start TBS.Everything just snowballed from this point.When I started working cable you couldn't get a picture on most stations without it.Now it is a luxarie. A lot of channels do offer educatenial programs.they still broadcast a lot of violance.It is and always will be a money game.I hope I have helped .If not I tryed my best.One more thing.Alot if not most of the cable channels come out of Canada or are govenored by the BBC

Answer 2

to get educational shows? Like the history channa /  science channel?

They have "cable access" math classes at my community college.

But over all nothing is necessary.
