Re: Really bad.

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.

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.
