said by DrDrew:said by fifty nine:News flash!!! There are are other channels to watch on TV. If one is gone, pick up the remote and change the channel.
Haven't you noticed when these broadcasters suddenly want to be paid and threaten channel removal??? Right when there is a program only that broadcaster has rights to and when they expect a large percentage of people want to watch is about to air.... Acadamy Awards, Superbowl, etc...
It severely limits the options to change the "channel" if that's the program you want.
Yeah but the Government shouldn't be regulating "wants." If it's a "need" that's another matter entirely.
