| I'm for and against While I like the idea of Ala Carte, I think the end result would be loss of quality networks and "dumbing down" to the lowest common denominator if you will....
IE Stations that are watched by the masses a little bit or niche followings will be killed.
The result is only channels that appeal to everyone survive.
So you're left with popular networks, while quality programming fades away. Some people will say "Free market system!" and I understand that argument... but still... Do you really want to watch only sports, news, Wrestling, Nascar and MTV?
I'd hope channels like Sci-Fi, A&E, Bravo, Discovery Channels, TLC, HGTV etc survive... but you never know.
