Re: just Maybe
Actually, the cable providers would love a la carte. Now, with digital technology, it is really easy for it to happen, cable companies stand to make a good deal of money and at the same time, give the people what they think they want. It's the programmers that are not all that interested in a la carte as they would lose potential eyeballs from their programming. This is why they bundle channels to the cable companies. Disney/ABC/ESPN and Viacom are the two biggies here.
I wanted to add ONE channel to my small dish (dishnetwork) so that my 2 kids could have the BOOM ? (old cartoons) channel in each of their rooms, this cost me 10 or 12 more a month because you have to go from America's top 120 to 180 and in that justification of theirs I get screwed.
So I dropped the HBO lineup to pay for that one cartoon channel. now i only have HBO in the front room on the big dish setup.
people want choice, they want forced control, and our politicians are up for sale as usual |
