  1. Disappearing channels by pvt_medic · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Basically if you have the option of only picking the stations you want to watch, many good networks are going to disappear because people dont routinely watch them, and only watch them when they have specials on.

    If i were to ask you to list all the channels you would pay for, would you forget one that you like but only occasionally watch?
