Loker Premium join:2004-07-11 Fargo, ND	Am I the only one who sees this as causing rate INCREASES? Not only will many of the smaller or newer channels die out but I am betting since cable companies wont be able to buy in bulk like they could before they will have to pay much higher on a per subscriber basis for each channel.... -- "While preceding your entrance with a grenade is a good tactic inQuake, it can lead to problems if attempted at work." -- C Hacking

TurtleFan join:2003-05-03 Wyckoff, NJ	Who cares if the newer channels die out? Do we really need ESPN 4 with Ice Sulpcture Creating contests, or the all Poker Channel? There's 700 channels on now, and STILL alot of nothing to watch except on the broadcast stations . If it whern't for GSN and Cartoon Network/Boomerang, I'd cancel alltogether. Plus the occasional HBO and Cinemax HD movie of course ... I say just do basic packages... 2-89 (no Sports, No Shopping). $9.99 a month. HD 2-13 $4.99 HD Movies $30.99 Shopping - $5.99 Kids/Familly $3.99 Sports - $50.99 etc.. and whatever else is left.

We are blessed here in the Los Angeles area since we have 3 different PBS stations and all show different stuff at the same time and KCET is in "living color 720p HD" KOCe seems to be is a funk lately with their Hd and KLCS
