Still no a la carte menu.
Not with cable. That would be the death of them as nobody would pay for about 90% of their channels. They are dying anyway but slower because they are making the customers they have subsidize their CNN, MSBNC, MTV, etc.
That’s exactly what killed cable. For decades they refused to allow customers to pick and choose what they want to watch.
Spectrum does have an al carte option for internet subscribers. You get all the local channels and 15 cable networks of your choice. It ends up costing $56 a month if you want DVR service.
Most people I know just download the shows on Pirate Bay or any torrent platform. As an example, Walking Dead episodes were the most downloaded show the past 10 years.
It didnt bother me that Verizon removed OAN, from their cable because they have a streaming service anyways. Just make sure you have a data stream.
Slowly that is happening at streaming, if they ever had TCM for offer aa a tstand alnoe streaming channel i would get it.
