This is an interesting topic. I have a Comcast package....of around 120 channels. To be honest...all I really need are the four local stations, and around a dozen cable channels (History Channel I/II, Discovery, Fox News, Business Channel, FX, AMC, TNT, TBS, A&E, TMC, TV Land, and ESPN).

The rest are all garbage.

MTV would not exist if people had a choice as to whether to pay for it or not. Right now, there is no choice. It is part of a "package," so they get income because of subscribers.

Congress needs to pass a law allowing for customers to select and pay for only the programs they want to watch.

My cabl;e channle could remove about half the channels they carry and not effect me a little bit, MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon , BET, CNN and MSNBC especially.

So Cablevision wants to buy programming ala carte but wouldn't dream of letting its customers buy each channel individually? Cry me a river you hypocrites.

I know you guys have all heard this before, but I'm going to remind you again: when you pay for cable, or dish, or whatever, you are putting money in the pockets of the people who hate you, hate your country, and hate everything you stand for. I have no doubt that channels like MTV are forced on every cable subscriber because it is a good conduit for left-wing propaganda geared toward kids.

If you guys just got to have your shows and are willing to take the time to research it and learn, the internet provides a number of ways to get those shows without paying anything. And the downloading of recorded broadcast TV does not violate copyright laws (plenty of other stuff does, though).

"The aggressive stance taken by large media conglomerates leaves less room and money to go around for independent, vibrant programmers that serve smaller, but passionate audiences that love and want the family-friendly programming offered on GMC and Aspire," GMC Vice Chairman Brad Siegel. "

Just think of all the people who want to get Al Gore’s network ‘Current TV’ but can’t.

That’s satire incase you were wondering.
