Re: More commercials
You hate commercials? ...you wouldn't feel this way if you had to pay $74 for "regular" TV channels just like you pay for the premium networks.
I know we all want everything for free, but believe it or not, we are a market economy and these companies gotta make money. I for one would rather have them make that money from advertisers than off ME.

Exactly right. Is is that hard to just watch a few commercials? or would you rather pay 50 dollars more a month for your cable/dish?`I for sure rather watch the commercials...They aren't that bad for the most part.
So i guess we have to put up with that "shtick", and you should too. |

What about networks like ESPN, Fox News, MTV, Spike TV, the list goes on and on...I pay for those channels, but I'm still subjected to commercials out that a$$. If they did offer versions without commercials.

Exactly...You are not paying for the tv station, you're paying for recieving them. So you only pay the Cable company. The channels themselves have to make money somehow, which is why there are commercials.
edit: and if they had versions of it without commercials, you would be paying a lot to watch them.
