So if only 25% of cable subscribers take a particular channel, does
that mean they have to pay four times as much as the current rate
charged? I would expect a large number of cable "networks" would go
under with the a-la-carte model.
I actually enjoy having a large number of channels available, as
sometimes good programs show up on channels I don't usually watch. On
the other hand, I would drop "networks" such as the Golf Channel and
MTV and whatever one carries racing, in an instant. Plus every home
shopping channel. I would not be allowed to cancel the Disney Channel
or Nickelodeon.
