Dish needs to switch to a la carte for one year and clear the room. FNC will probably survive but MSNBC, CNN, and about 50 othe useless channels will vanish.
I would do a super duper fancy pants dance if they went a la carte!
90% of Dishs’ programming in my package I do not watch , and it’s still expensive and has gone up in the last year.
I’m now going to take a look at Direct TV .
I wonder if they also have all the ‘spanish’ channels that clutter the Dish net ?
That would be great, and would do more to lower cable/satellite bills than anything else. But, they can't do it without the consent of the programming providers. They bundle their "popular" channels with high cost channels that you can't refuse.
The parent company of Fox News is doing the same thing with a couple of sports channels, and that one of the reasons for this dispute with DISH.

In the long run we are all going to get our TV a la carte over the Internet. Why put up expensive satellites when you can pipe your programming over land lines. With the exception of NFL, Fox News and, of course, Gold Rush, that’s the way I do it right now.
Having a $100 Roku 3 is the way to go.
