G+_Ara Wagoner Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm open to this, as well. and yet, I'm waiting for the shoe to drop. -Ara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ara Wagoner Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Five bucks a month won't get you ESPN 1, much less all of them. Sports carry higher rates than any other channel type. -Ara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rick D Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 He STILL just doesn't "get it" ...bundling or any requirement of membership to the cable/sat monopolies is DOA --get a clue, Moron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ara Wagoner Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Why? Why shouldn't you have to pay for content? I'm a film and news producer; what the hell makes people think that my work should be free? HBO and the other subscription channels charge a subscription instead of having commercials, and it's a model some prefer. They have the right to get paid so that they can pay those who work on content, like me. -Ara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ara Wagoner Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 In that argument the film industry would die and then Americans would have nothing to get fat watching on the couch. -Ara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Rick D Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ara Wagoner ; I have no objection to paying for commercial-free streaming services ala-carte... I object to services that show commercials AND want to charge in addition, OR require "membership" in some cable/sat monopoly that keeps raising prices for no increase in service "just because they can" and will NEVER buy their "product".... this is what this moron "doesn't get" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
