| Bye Bye ESPN!
I would love to not have to pay for the sports channels; ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN whatever, Yes!, SNY, etc. Being the most expensive "Basic" channels currently running, removing them alone would probably cut the content cost by 30%-40%.

| I spoke with a Charter mucky muck a few years back and he told me that something like 50% of their programming costs went to the ESPN's, NESN's etc. I say let the folks who want to watch their NFL Mookball and such pay for it. Currently "extended basic" at $60 a month is just too damn expensive. All I have is the "mini-basic", broadcast channels, public access, and C-Span. If I could cherry pick other channels like History, Discover, etc. I would if I didn't have to subsidize the meathead channels. |

No to ESPN
@sbcglobal.net
| The high prices for cable and satellite resulting from carrying ESPN and like are funding the high salaries of professional sports players. In order to stop the insanity the industry should be forced to go to ala carte. Then we can just say "NO TO ESPN" and the sports mafia.
Ask yourself who is fighting against ala carte and you might not like the answer. |
