Cable companies are certainly not just a carrier. They pay all kinds of money in order to put together a package of programming that is popular enough for them to attract a large subscriber base. They do this because that's how they think they can best run their business.
You can assert all you want about how you think the cable company should spend it's money, but you don't get all that much of a say in the matter.

DirectTV lost 84,000. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/02/business/media/directv-and-time-warner-cable-lose-subscribers-but-revenues-rise.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/02/business/media/directv-and...
