| Why "boring" channels should be allowed to exist I'd like to point out that there is a benefit to allowing to exist certain channels like C-SPAN and others that you may never watch yourself because you find them boring. Lucky for you, there *are* people who are willing to watch the "boring" stuff that you're too impatient or self-absorbed to care about. We all benefit from society having a segment that is well educated and plugged into public policy issues.
A la carte will put pressure to eliminate those channels that may be high value to society but low entertainment value. |
