Time Warner, Comcast, Charter - Cutting Cable: I've had it these corporate THIEVES!!!
   
Look. I just want some background noise while cooking. Some news. Perhaps a little Comedy Central. And these ****ers want to charge me over $200 a month for a bunch of bundled nonsense I don't want or need. Religious crap I don't believe in, foreign languages I don't speak, and cheap gaudy jewelery I don't want to buy. All I wanted was some basic cable, a land line, and an internet connection.

Bundling should be illegal. It's thievery. It would be like going to a restaurant to get a salad but you have to buy the steak and lobster package which includes a fundy sermon and a sales pitch for gold coins and a reverse mortgage.

It's a rip off. It's a scam. These corporate bastards need to die. There's a special place in hell waiting for them.

A metaphor for ObamaCoup insurance?

This HAS to be a mole, because I agree with most of what it says.

Then go spend the money to form the company to provide it.
Otherwise STFU.

The sad thing is, that the channels no one is watching but paying for, are subsidizing the more popular channels. ESPN is one of the most expensive in terms of what the cable companies have to pay for.

Of course not.  Insert the right evils and ......off they go!

Yes, correct.  I used to know the top 10 watched cable networks by heart, it may have changed by now.  Probably available via google.

Here is what I think they were a few years ago, in no particular order:

USA
TNT
TBS
ESPN
ESPN2
Nickelodeon
Fox News Channel
Cartoon Network
A&E
Discovery
Lifetime

It wouldn't surprise me to see Univision on a list of today's top 10 cable networks.

About a quarter of the way down the page, this webpage gives the top 25 primetime and full-day cable channels (among other interesting stuff) for the Week Ending May 17. The NBA playoffs have probably boosted ESPN's primetime viewership some. MesS and the Clinton News Network (I'm anticipating the likelihood of this, net of a sex change, being appropriate well into 2016, but hopefully ending in November) are not in the primetime top 25, and the Clinton News Network is #22 for full-day, with MesS a no-show.

If the cable companies went ala carte the first thing to be cut would be MSNBC. The ad rate for getting 35-45K people would be a few dollars a spot. With bundling MSNBC makes $500 million a year. CNN would not be far behind as TRU TV gets bigger ratings.

With cable we have enacted a licensing fee like the pedo-leftist BBC has.

One of the big problems that I have with the channel providers is that they force the cable companies to take all of their channels or none of them.  You can't get Disney without getting all the other channels and networks they own, but they each add to the cost.
