I wouldn't pay any money for those channels... How much extra would you pay? Do you expect them in HD too?

Cedar Rapids has had Great American Country for years(SD only). Same with GSN, although it has always been on an extra pay tier.

I'd trade all those channels for some of the garbage channels like ESPN or FSN.

ESPN is a 'garbage channel'? Its one of the best reasons to have cable tv.

I can honestly say that in the 28 years of having cable tv at this address, I have yet to watch even a second of ESPN in any way.... not even by accident.

Exactly, thank you Lotus. I don't watch overpaid grown men prance around in tights handling each-others balls on a regular occurance. If you do enjoy that, great, have fun, but to pretend all of society cares is laughable at best.

I'd take any learning channel over ALL the sports channels any day.

You can think what you want about sports channels, but they are what is saving cable and satellite tv from massive cord cutting.

You can get pretty much any other show on the internet even in HD, but live sports in HD are only available with a video subscription.

The numbers prove that sports are a big draw in the US. The super bowl is the most watch program for over 3 years with over 100 Million viewers.

I wish I didn't have to pay for politics-that-I-don't-like news channels, music-that-I-don't-like music channels, sports-that-I-don't-like sport channels, etc. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. There would be a sh**storm of epic proportions, from both subscribers and channel providers, if certain networks were taken off certain tiers, like if ESPN or any of the news networks were taken off of basic. I look forward to the day that will never come where every channel is ordered ala carte.

Ratings and advertising revenue proves other wise.

We've got both of those in HD here now, so I'd suspect you'll eventually get them.

Comedy Central HD, I've been emailing over and over for 2 years asking for it to be added in the Huntsville / Madison Co AL market.

ESPN is garbage considering that it, and the ESPN family of channels, is just about the sole reason that cables rates are skyrocketing. ESPN is THE most expensive cable channel. For some odd reason ESPN has a choke hold on cable providers. Providers continue to keep ESPN in the basic tiers. ESPN and the family of channels should be in a sports package and paid for separately. I like sports but not at the rates that ESPN charges cable providers. The endless talking head shows on ESPN with over paid and under talented hosts is what is garbage about ESPN. Just show the dam sports.

Hey MediacomChad, flip a switch and add Palladia to the Movies/Music tier. Good concerts for my summertime.

You just described the draw of the sports channels, but you make it sound so hot...:)
