Re: a la carte won't save most people any money
ESPN and others will simply need to renegotiate their fees or be forced to charge unreasonable fees for their services to those that do want it. Since this would hurt them and the events wanting to be broadcasted I think they will easily come to terms on this.
I agree many channels will lose subscribers as they should (and be cancelled), but many will also gain subscribers. I know people, including myself, that do not have certain channels because we would have to purchase another package that has several others we don't want. To me the cost for all those "extras" is not worth it for the very few channels I want.
Beyond local channels their are only about 8 or 12 other channels I would get. Only about 6 of those would be for myself and my wife, the rest for my kids. Sure I am willing to pay more for HD and DVR service, but is it worth an additional $12 a month on top of the already bloated fees I pay now? I personally say no, but I may reconsider that when I can get the channels I want for less then I have to pay for all the crap I get now. |
