Re: Really bad.

Are you kidding? My interest in ESPN shouldn't subsidize your wanting to watch super obscure programming. If those networks have a following, it will show up as subscribers in an a-la-carte model. Otherwise it will go away.

Note: I'm pulling the numbers below out of the air, in order to make a point. They don't represent anything but hypotheticals.

Likewise, my interest in obscure programming shouldn't subsidize ESPN, in which I have zero interest.

ESPN might even be profitable on its own and be a freebie or very low cost in an a la carte lineup. Likewise, something a bit more obscure, call it the "Obscurity Channel" will have a smaller audience, and require maybe a dollar or two for each subscriber. I'm fine with that. I'd rather get rid of a bunch of crap channels I'll NEVER look that cost 10 cents a month and get one or two I do want that cost many times more.

Heck, you might even get some channels that pay you a tiny bit to have them, like QVC, HSN, etc.

I'm totally for this and hope it happens.

That way I can say goodbye to probably 30 channels for good AND not have to pay for them.
