It should be served up ala-carte style with maybe some basic packages to build upon.
To: upbeat5
Chief among them, CNN, and MSNBC And the down side is?

Maybe someday we will be able to subscribe to conservative channels, if there were any. Without having to subsdize all the leftist crap

The less popular channels would simply have to raise their price :p

Let the devil take the hindmost. If there is a market, it will be subscription or ppv.

It’s not just cable, we have bundled satellite also and then there is Verizon and Uverse.

I agree. This will cull the herd.

Yup. With the way it is, every single ‘conservative with cable/dish is willfully funding the left. Same goes for movie goers for the most part.
They have gits when someone mentions it, but the truth is in the math.
To: upbeat5
There aren't more than a dozen channels that I watch.Ever.All the other channels I'm paying for can disappear for all I care.
To: Gay State Conservative
For instance, I never watch any of the Spanish channels...

I love the idea of ala carte channels but it would seriously shut down 70 channels. I can’t imagine there is the viewership for Oprah, the dedicated chick channels, the spanish language channels, the black channels and the four gay channels, and the lefty news outlets enough to keep them in business.

Oh, if it kills the leftist propaganda channels, it’ll never happen. Being carried by conservatives is the only life they understand. Though, I’m sure they don’t think of it in those terms. This deal for example; if they realize it would disproportionately hurt the leftist lie mills, they’d be against it because it would be “censorship” or “discriminatory against minority views” or “disenfranchising”, you know, some excuse where the problem isn’t that they’re afraid to have their idea compete on their merits but somehow, everyone else must be forced to subsidize their crap or it just wouldn’t be fair. Somehow.

"... analysts and experts are fessing up that in a world without bundled cable, only 20 television networks would survive..."Which 20? What channel would YOU pay for and how much?
