I recall the same marketing, cable was going to be TV without ads… because you paid for it.

Sure, that’s after cable evolved into something with enough bandwidth to the house to deliver dozens/hundreds of channels to a subscriber, not to mention the necessary distribution infrastructure on the back-end (e.g. satellite). That wasn’t the case at first. Heck, Sputnik hadn’t even launched when cable started.

Cable wasn’t around long before the ads came along.
