Re: More commercials

You are paying for distribution...your cable company's lines, offices, repair people, call centers, bills and postage etc.

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.
