I’ll take an HGTV and an ESPN, please
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The FCC is apparently concerned that you’re wasting money on the Style network.
Chairman Kevin J. Martin has issued a statement meant to encourage pay television providers to offer channels a la carte. The result could be a savings of 13 percent on cable bills.
The FCC has also concluded that people only watch about 17 channels out of the hundreds offered.
Obviously, big media companies such as Viacom and Disney would be less than pleased with such a situation.
Now, the questions: would you prefer to pick your TV offerings? If you could, which of the ones you currently subscribe to would you keep or dump?
Personally? I’d trade all my Nickelodeons for a few more HD channels.
