Older style TV options?

I’m not into the new TV options like streaming. I’ve been trying to find a cable TV subscription that can work on my old CRT from the 90s, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what is what. Is it all those cable boxes now? I just want 30-60 channels with the news, weather and some cartoons. Does anyone still have a plan like that? Thanks!

I'd have to say antenna is probably your best option, bigger it is, the more channels. I'm 95% sure bell nor rogers offers standard cable anymore UNLESS you already had it. It'd probably be more expensive anyways.

Do antennas still work? I can’t find any 100% confident info that they can still pick up channels.

If you're using a CRT you'll need a digital converter box, but yes. But to confirm what part of Canada are you in? In Ottawa I can pick up CBC, CTV, Global, and a few others.

I’m in the GTA in Ontario! So I feel like getting some broadcasts on antenna would be most likely where I am.

That's good, you'd probably be able to get your local CBC, CTV, and Global channels, maybe City TV and Omni too? Keep me updated if you proceed with this
