BUNDLED CABLE DEATH WATCH: Q2 CORD-CUTTING SOARS TO 566,000
Breitbart ^ | Aug 11, 2015 | John Nolte

Meanwhile, for around $100 a month pay TV is not only pummeling you with about 20 minutes of ads an hour, but forcing you to pay for a ton of networks you hate. Moreover, many of these networks get a chunk of your cable bill. Even if you don’t watch left-wing CNN and MSNBC, if they are on your package, chances are a part of your bill is going directly to both.

If you want to put CNN, MSNBC, MTV, and all these other low-rated, left-wing networks out of business, not watching them makes absolutely no difference.

You have to cut the cord.

Nearly half of CNN’s revenue comes from this immoral revenue stream. CNN is taking your money to attack you all day every day.

And that is the great con the gigantic left-wing multinationals have pulled off for decades. Something like 100 million homes keep hundreds of networks profitable by forcing those customers into overpriced cable packages. Maybe 15 cable networks could survive solely on ad revenue generated by actual eyeballs. The rest would go poof, and good riddance.

SNIP

The death of the pay TV cable bundle is the healthiest thing that could ever happen to your pocketbook or our culture.

Cut the cord.

For America.

While comment one is true, it is off or it is on.
Comment 2 is off the mark, reception can be dependent on many things.

>> Comment 2 is off the mark <<

So tell me exactly where I'm wrong.

>> reception can be dependent on many things <<

Of course. But the average homeowner in the average location simply isn't going to get reliable reception from a station whose transmitter is 65 miles away. I know because I am trying to pick up distant stations almost every day -- and I've been in the game for more than 60 years.
