If we had been able to choose just the stations we wanted and pay ‘a la carte’, instead of paying for a huge package that included hundreds of things we had no use for, we might have kept cable TV. But you’re forced into contracts, prices keep going up - and you’re still using but a fraction of what you’re paying for.

I think the companies could manage to offer simpler options, because most people are not like our household - we’re not routinely interested in movies, sports, or even much network TV.

Yes, the cable ‘a la carte’ ban you will find in law somewhere.

Congress creates these monopolies, cable TV ain’t no free market place. Hell the ‘Healthcare Marketplace’ is another laughingstock. Bet a ‘Cable Marketplace’ exists in the law somewhere to ban freedom.

You’re right. Al la carte would be better. First thing we’d cut are the two dozen music channels and the half dozen Spanish channels.
