| bundle problems The problem is these big entertainment companies owning more than 1 station. Want ESPN? Then you also have to take all the other Disney channels that nobody cares about. The media providers themselves are bundling channels and selling them to the cable and sat cos.
I'd love a reasonably priced a la carte programming. It should easily be available with the sat technology we have had for years already. Just have the card programmed to only recieve channels the customer wants.
On Directv, my viewing rarely left Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TV Land, Sci-Fi, and TNN. 5 channels that I must purchase 195 other channels to get. Whoever is the first sat company to come out with a choose your own package deal will make a killing. | |

As long as the content providers have must-carry provisions no sat company will have a choose your own package.
Would you subscribe to an ala-carte service that couldn't offer those 5 channels you mentioned because they didn't want to carry the other channels the providers wanted them to?
