YES. THIS. I’m tired of cable packages that end up being 4905724857 channels of shit that I ignore and a handful of channels I actually watch and enjoy.

Time Warner wants to dump Current over this? Fine. Their business, their decision. HOWEVER, if people want AJE, they should be free to subscribe to it at will instead of having their cable provider decide for them what they will see and what they won’t.

fwiw, I think we’re in the process of it happening anyway. Hulu, netflix, playon, and others are gradually showing that a good internet connection makes cable as (relatively) unnecessary as cable did to broadcast. In other words, in some places and situations you stick with them, but they’re becoming the exception.

It’s the playdough problem. The harder you squeeze to maintain control, the less you wind up holding.
