Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: Cable TV is better at attracting advertisers than regular broadcast networks because cable can focus on specific topics like 24-hour news, costs less for ads because viewers pay monthly fees, and operates in many countries.

Reasoning: Cable TV has structural advantages over broadcast, including the ability to target niche audiences, lower ad rates due to viewer subscription subsidies, and global reach.
