Re: Cable TV a la carte
It would kill the cable companies, that's why they're balking. Of the channels available out there, which would be the first to go. The religious and special-interest stations. There goes that revenue. Then the shopping channels would go away- no subscriberships means no revenue and no reason to keep the station. Eventually the channel selection would shrink to the point that we would have the 20-30 stations that actually made money, the costs would skyrocket because of the limited advertising space and the consumer would get less for their money. <br /><br /> The only change needed right now in the cable TV market is to eliminate the monopolies that the cities grant them. That is the greatest issue with cable right now as far as I am concerned. When I call customer service and am told that it will be a 2 hour wait just to speak to someone, that tells me that something is very wrong. <br /><br />UFM82
