Well, MTV hasn't shown Music Videos for what? 10? 15 years?
Ditto VH1. (Which, I'm assuming stands for "Video Hits-1")
I'm switching to a local TV carrier, dropping the price by about 50%, and dropping a ton of channels. Should be able to do this in the next month or two (just got a flyer on it in the mail). I can't wait.
If I could get ESPN through the basic cable package, I'd have switched over long ago. The new carrier is going to eat Time Warner Cable's lunch. They're not quite ala carte, but they've got a lot more options for programming.
