I cancelled cable TV a couple of days ago. I was expecting the advisor to launch into a script designed to persuade me otherwise - probably offer me free TV for a month during which time I would reconsider. No, they seemed accustomed to my request and I was disconnected 5 minutes later. Moral of the story: easy way to save money right now.

Big foolishness on the part of your cable provider.

They (and others) are going to look back at this period and wonder why they sat around watching that part of their business dissolve instead of pouring money into keeping subscribers and figuring out how to reach more folks. (Such as more diverse programming plans at a lower rate.)
