I see the cable TV business model dying unless the industry switches to an a la carte plan. Let consumers decide what channels they want to watch.
Its more of a hassle to administer but happy customers are better than those who “cut the cord.” They’ll do it in the end because they’re already losing money.
I think it's too late for that. Netflix and Amazon are the future. Subscribing to a channel (and paying for shows you don't watch) will seem as archaic an idea as subscribing to cable (and paying for channels you don't watch).
The simple fact is that people don't watch channels. They watch shows.
