A la carte cable would cancel a lot of liberal channels. Conservatives should figure out a way to make it happen.

I'd be happy to spend $7/mo for 30 channels (of my choice) instead of $70/mo for 300.

I guess that's why the (disconnected) cable has been corroding for the last 10 years.

Indeed. Sorry, but subscribing to any channel package makes you part of the problem and is what allows the left to violate our sensibilities with impunity.

The more folks who cancel their subscriptions now, the better!

You would be interested in this good news. The Sheephole aren’t as think as they dumb we are. 40% of your bill is for sports channels for teams and sports that you don’t even watch or care about.

TV Is Dying, And Here Are The Stats That Prove It

The TV business is having its worst year ever.

Audience ratings have collapsed: Aside from a brief respite during the Olympics, there has been only negative ratings growth on broadcast and cable TV since September 2011, according to Citi Research.

Media stock analysts Craig Moffett and Michael Nathanson recently noted, “The pay-TV industry has reported its worst 12-month stretch ever.” All the major TV providers lost a collective 113,000 subscribers in Q3 2013. That doesn’t sound like a huge deal — but it includes internet subscribers, too.

Broadband internet was supposed to benefit from the end of cable TV, but it hasn’t.

In all, about 5 million people ended their cable and broadband subs between the beginning of 2010 and the end of this year.

Cancel cable and just purchase the few shows you want to watch. That's what we did.
