This is why the cable and satellite companies won’t go to ala cart programming. Half or more the junk on TV wouldn’t survive.

With streaming you can watch whatever you want when you want to watch it.

Cable and satellite companies should get a clue.

I don’t need 20 shopping channels, teh Golf Channel, the Soccer Channel or teh Hockey Channel.

But I had to get them in the ‘Sports Package’ in order to get NFL Network.

In order to get certain programs on Direct TV I have to buy a ‘package’ of shows that contain that particular show. If I want some other TV show I have to buy separate packages that they are in.

For local channels, I have to take Mobile, Alabama TV stations for FOX, CBS and NBC even though Panama City, Florida is closer, 65 miles vs 100 miles. ABC and The CW we get from Pensacola. PBS from Pensacola has been taken off Direct TV here due to a contract dispute.................
