In his column in the Kansas City Star, TV writer Aaron Barnhart observed that on Sunday night, Christmas night, he was searching for a Christmas movie to watch. He said he surveyed 200 movies available on demand from his cable company (not identified) and another two dozen available on his digital tier. But, he added, there were: "No sightings of It's a Wonderful Life. No Holiday Inn. Not even an airing of Bad Santa. Bizarre. You can turn on the radio in any market in the U.S. of A. and hear Christmas songs from the middle of October onward. And yet you can't get a decent holiday movie when you want it? What am I missing here? Why is the federal government wasting its time pressuring Comcast and Time Warner to set up family tiers? It's the holidays -- set up a frickin' holiday tier! Right?"
