Get rid of cable and satellite TV services. Over half of their revenue comes from the carriage fees.

Hmm... Sounds drastic (but now that I am committed, and since i could actually use the money lol, ...)

I curently have comcast cable tv. iirc, a year ago they roped me into a 3 year contract in order so that i could save $30/mo.

anyways i believe that certain channels such as CNN and ESPN come with every bundle offered by comcast. i wonder if this is part of the problem given the continuous left-biased homogeneity in the news these days, emphasizing a canned set of liberal talking points even after the elections are finished. these guys have it good if we are actually paying them to brainwash us (!?!)

I read somewhere (perhaps on an fr thread) that internet TV is the future and cable is the past. Certainly Trump must know this. His disparaging of the MSM newsprint and cable TV shows and adoption of twitter seems like a prescient bet on newer technology at the expense of older technology almost as much as rage against the dominant MSM.

If I have one roku (or roku-type) dongle and three TVs, must I buy two more roku-type dongles?

Also if I live in earthquake country, is over-reliance on a land based (internet cable) carrier advisable (knowing that I can probably always get wireless cell data which is more reliable in earthquake situations, eg 1994 Northridge earthquake)?
