And that's the very point; what with their 36 viewers they still manage to retain a slot on ever major cable provider and take a slice of every bill because of the practice of forced bundling.
I'll keep hounding my representatives until my grave or until NBC, CNN and other stations I've locked out of my home's viewing selection years ago stop getting a slice of my monthly bill for service they DO NOT provide me and further allowing them to misrepresent to their advertisers that their programming is available in my household.
if you lock a channel out from being viewed on your own how exactly is this comcast not providing it to you? They are offering the channel, you choose not to watch it, that doesn't mean you should get the cost of channel removed from bill. You want ala carte pricing? Find a sat. provider that will give that to you.
