Frontier communications charges a $6.00 Regional Sports Fee. According to Frontier, that charge cannot be removed from customer's bills. It's not a lot of money, but, it's more about the principle of the thing.
According to me (and I know that I'm not the only one), I don't want to be paying for something that I don't use, while the fee goes towards supporting other people's sports viewing habits, and supporting sports teams which don't listen to how the majority feel about issues.
And lately, I'm more outraged/incensed since the sports leagues have been kow-towing to Black Lives Matter and to the players who have vowed to take a knee when the National Anthem is played before a game. Furthermore, the leagues have indicated that they will play a Black Lives Matter anthem played before the National Anthem.
I'm going to do everything I can to oppose the NFL and NBA and MLB and any other sports league that follows thru with their surrender to those anti-American groups.
I'll cancel my TV/Cable plan if I have to and just go with whatever I can get through OTA and internet.
We need to petition our members of congress to ban fees such as regional sports fees, which are being forced on customers.
I saw that.
Time to watch ‘Lou Dobbs’ he is one of the few watched anymore!

I ditched cable quite awhile ago and don’t miss it at all. Some nice freeper had recommended using https://ustvgo.tv
and it is great. Has every channel imaginable plus plenty of sports channels if you cant quite give them up. And it is FREE! Don’t need to download anything.
“According to Frontier, that charge cannot be removed from customer’s bills.”
The charge can be removed, Frontier simply chooses not to remove it.
Good idea. You may be pleasantly surprised to find streaming TV is far cheaper with better options.
YouTube TV just went up to $65.00 per month. Great choice. Or Sling or Hulu or other options are out there in place of cable.
I’d like to do the same...except I do like college basketball....
Just downgraded to the lowest package which means no ESPN. Rep said that it’s $13 cheaper and she will throw in $5 more off for a year!!!!
Direct TV!!!
I use ustv.go.tv, but, it doesn’t have the local channels. Still a very alternative.
My sister uses FUBO TV in their winter place in Florida — no cable or satellite. It looks pretty good. We’re considering pulling the plug on DirecTV, which has become ridiculously expensive considering how few channels we watch.
I just checked that out, and the channel lineup is pretty good. It has OAN, which most don’t have. I couldn’t find a cost. Also, can’t watch on Smart TV — only computers, tablets, etc. Too bad.
We get free basic cable + HBO but last year bought a ROKU box and find I hardly ever even watch cable any more even though it’s still there.
Tom’s Guide says it lowest cost of that system is $54.+ a month.
Buy an antenna you can turn by remote control for like 30 bucks for local TV and then get a kodi box and watch shows off of apps like Genesis or Yoda.
I read somewhere, forgot where, you can have an something like a bluetooth and play things on your tv.
Need to find it again.
Might be Chromecast.
“https://ustvgo.tv/ is free on your internet.”
To see it on a Smart TV, would you go to the browser app on the TV and bring it up that way? (I used to be “up” on technology — then I retired and got stupid real fast.)
You could stream ustvgo from a laptop/desktop to a TV via an HDMI/USB cord.
