Is this an attempt to make fun of Klahn's habit of weasel-wording?  If so,
it is a great parody of him!  Excellent satire.

Or was it a serious attempt to respond?  If so, you should be worried that
your contact with him has reduced you to trying to out-Klahn Klahn.

"Hardball" is broadcast on cable.  It is not broadcast "over
the airwaves"
(the phrase you Klahnishly imported to twist the meaning) but it is broadcast.

Your last sentence should be especially disturbing to you.  You Klahnishly
tossed out a comment that implicitly makes a claim without just coming out
and saying it explicitly in a way that accepts responsibility for it.  IF
you seriously think that all cable programming fits within "narrowcasting"
then you have no idea what the term means.  If not, then your comment that
"there is such a thing" is an irrelevant diversion.
