I think you have hit the nail on the head, Chris. In the 60s we HAD choice but needed it because there was so much duff programming in between. Even as an 11/12 year old I remember a lot of tuning to avoid certain programmes and listen to (to me) "unmissables" like Kenny and Cash, Pete Brady etc.

Just because it was from a boat didn't make it good....
