said by microphone:What I think would be a good idea is for every cable subscriber to be able to select and deselect the channels they want online. Channel pricing would be a la cart but then you would be given discounts for selecting all of the channels with a given group and/or channels that are lacking viewers could be highly discounted; this would help save the lesser watched channels from being vanished.
For example:
ESPN $2.99
ESPN2 $2.99
ESPN News $1.99
ESPN Classic $2.59
Get all 4 channels for $7.99/month
If the channels are priced and grouped in this way, it still encourages some lesser watched channels to be chosen yet we are still able to avoid paying for something we have absolutely no interest in such of Trinity Broadcast Network.
Trinity Broadcast Network is free OTA in some areas.
