| Re: BB prices down; but gas; electric; water prices up said by kbennett  :You also lose The Weather Channel, ESPN, and the TV Guide channel from the Basic Cable tier. I should hope the price would go down if you're removing channels... ESPN and TWC cost a lot more than $3/month per subscriber too. So Cox will actually be making more money per basic subscriber (in addition to forcing quite a few people over to expanded basic to get ESPN).
I can't believe they are actually moving TWC and TV Guide off basic cable. That is just wrong in so many ways and really goes against the purpose (especially TWC) or basic cable. ESPN? It really belongs on expanded basic anyway and was probably unreasonably inflating the cost of basic.
