In simpler English: TV just got more expensive with just two a la carte channels.
That's assuming buying those two is a given. The article notes, without further notice, that the "hardcore" audience for those is relatively small - meaning that given the chance to unbundle, and to have some reason to not have those (saving money), chances are the majority of viewers will lose interest and find other desirable & affordable content.
Sure there's a lot of desirable stuff not on Netflix ... but my time is limited, and my queue is large, so I can satiate my viewing desires for $9/mo.
- talmand 13y agoThank you. Every one of these articles never explores the third option: not paying for anything. I'm doing just fine thank you very much without access to ESPN or AMC through a cable TV subscription.
- ctdonath 13y agoDuly noted. I'll remember to include it in future discussions. The local public library has more free content available (don't forget inter-library loans) than you can ever get thru - no need to pay even for Internet access.
