And yet, I constantly hear from self-appointed know-it-alls that getting ESPN alone ala carte would cost at least $20 in and of itself.

While I'm still not fond of predetermined packages, this is at least a step in the right direction - a streaming service as an alternative to a satellite or cable service.

Now, give me a true ala carte option with the channels I'm interested in, and I'd be a happy camper.

I thought the ESPN “wholesale” cost was about $5.50?

Have to admit that if I was offered a la carte cable tv programming for less than 20 dollars a month I would be sorely tempted. At the very least I could then get only the programs I need. I most definitely do not need ABCNNBC, pMSNBC, two Black Entertainment channels along with the Opreh Winfree channel, 4 channels of golf, two bowling channels, C-SPAN 1 and 2, the SPEED channel, and two boating channels.

Just to name a few. They want 50 dollars a month minimum for that here locally while the only interesting channel is the FoxNews Channel. Oh, and you can get Showtime unscrambled for 9.99 per month extra.

Think I’ll pass.
