Out of curiosity I looked into Comcast cable tv prices in my area recently. All cable packages had a list price that did not include $20 a month for broadcast tv fee and $15 a month for regional sports tv fee. It’s not a surprise that people look elsewhere for tv. I hope Comcast and others like it go bankrupt.
The local TV being require to get cable has got to go. I can get all those channels for free, but when I tell people I do that they look at me like I am some kind of hacker or something, I love getting a free Premier League game every weekend, lots of good reruns on channels like Comet, etc.
