Are over the air broadcasts still a thing? Sorry if that’s a stupid question. Used DVD’s and Blu-ray’s are a certified fuck yeah.

Yes. We don’t watch it a ton because of ads, but it absolutely exists. In fact, I assume that’s how most people watch major events like the Super Bowl (US) or the Olympics. We get a couple dozen channels, maybe more (haven’t counted), and the only ones we watch regularly are PBS (kids cartoons, informative shows) and the local university’s channel.
Oh, and radio also exists, in case you’re too zoomer to know. :) I listen to it every day on the way to/from work in my car.

in case you’re on the older side, in addition to what they said in the other comment OTA broadcasts are now digital HD.
