TV content is very much into redistribution. Big channels pay for the production of th channels that only a few people watch. Kinda like football revenues at big universities pay for all the other sports.
A la carte is a pipe dream, but I'll keep on dreaming with you.
Yeah, it’s part of why the online services were more enticing because they offered a scaled back set of channels to trim a lot of the fat at a reduced price. Now moves like this are making it more like the bloated pricey cable package I left. At least offer some lower tiers.
If that continues we’re going to reach a tipping point sooner rather than later where everyone will just cut entirely and live with Netflix and Disney+. Without sports I’d be willing to do this right now if I could get the wife off bravo...
