Create your own fantasy cable TV package and imagine you only have to pay one dollar per TV channel.
Even if I only had to pay only $15 for basic service and had
1. Fox News
2. Discovery Channel
3. History Channel
4. The Learning Channel
5. Sci Fi Channel
For $20 dollars a month I would be very happy.
Sometimes other than watching Fox News I feel I am supporting the Moveon.org cable company
I dont care for the rest of the liberal dribble on the other channels. This is all I want.
What's the use ...
It is interesting to me that the satellite companies don't try a la carte. Or at least some version with a minimum or a flat surcharge.
In my case, a la carte would be a godsend because I'm a single guy.
Because that's the only way the cable company sells them!
Maybe I only like cherry Life Savers, but if I buy a roll of 5 Flavors and throw away the rest, I'm still buying all 5 flavors.
And you'll notice that Life Savers come in 5 Flavors, but they also come in all cherry or all lemon or all lime. Because CONSUMERS told Life Savers that they prefer to buy Life Savers that are all one particular flavor ... the flavor they LIKE!
Life Savers could have adopted YOUR award-winning attitude toward marketing and offered squash-flavored candy, then told their consumers to stuff it if they didn't like it. In which case they would be "The Company Formerly Known as Life Savers."
Life Savers does provide you the option of getting all cherry, though. They've realized the benefit of providing that to their consumers.
HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Movie Channel, Starz, Encore, Sundance, IFC, and the WB.
I'll bite, why? HBO is one of the few channels I'd keep if I could pick.
You reminded me. I'd have to keep Discovery so I can continue watching American Chopper.
There also seems to be a lot of Republican bashing and innuendos used towards the unsuspecting viewer as if their opinion was of the norm.
LOL. I knew there must be someone that liked those shows.
