Re: Thoughts on Verizon picking up the PAC 12 Network?

said by Greg2600:

The ONLY ala carte package should/needs to be sports.

Why is that? You don't think all those channels that I and many others don't watch don't add up as well? What are the carriage fees for A&E, HGTV, MTV, USA Network, etc. ?

Non sport watchers seem to be under the impression everyone watches these shows even though sports programming absolutely hammers them in the ratings. So which is more popular?

And again, I can watch all that original programming on netflix, Hulu or whatever. Much easier to ditch those channels vs. live sports.

This. If I didn't need cable for sports programming, I'd have cut the cord years ago. Who cares if you are a season behind on breaking bad? It does, however, matter if you are so much as 10 mins behind on a sporting event....
