Can they just turn it off? Why do government employees need a tv on all day anyway?

But they are either showing company info, or they're off. They will turn them to certain stations for weather events. They turned 'em all to CNN on 9/11.

someone flipped the tv's in our cafeteria over to Fox. One of the senior research scientists couldn't figure out how to change it so he unplugged all of them. They used to rotate CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC

Nobody was happy so I suggested Nick but they settled on CNBC all the time because it was the least hated.

My old business partner was in the Marines 20 years ago. He says military radio and tv was ALWAYS tuned to right-wing stations and that the constant drumbeat from higher-ups was that republicans were pro-military and Democrats were anti-military.
