Re: A la carte will end up with less choice said by markopoleo:No one will be crying in 5 years after it, people will be rejoicing all the crap channels get weeded out and finally the best/popular ones will be on TV on. A la carte = great I guarantee you that you have at least one channel you watch that would be gone with a-la-carte.
Heck I wouldn't be at all surprised if you saw even moderately popular channels like the history channel and Discovery adversely affected by this. Everyone watches these somewhat educational networks but many people don't realize how much they do and will likely go without them to save a couple bucks.
MY concern with a-la-carte is purely selfish tho. I have fairly eclectic taste in media (My favorite movie is Kung Fu Hustle, and I'm happy that Cartoon network has started showing Billy and Mandy again) so it's hard enough to find shows I like now. -- gau gau |
