NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO WATCH REALITY SHOWS OR POORLY MADE SITCOMS
I don't own a game console so I can't subscribe to NetFlix. I also don't want to pay $8 a month plus taxes more on my television bill. Buying movies for $5.99 plus tax from Rogers at Home is like adding insult to injury on my basic cable bill at the end of the month. I hate going to the movie rental store. Aside from paying for another movie, it takes forever to pick one.
There are of course a few channels like CHCH (Cable 11) and a few others that regularly show older but really good movies. I can't escape the reality show drivel and whatever sitcoms they are still producing and enjoy a nice evening of television. What a concept!
You'd think Rogers could get rid of some of the seldom watched channels on basic and give us a break. I'd love to watch TSN so I could watch the CFL. I love to watch to get rid of the channels there isn't a chance in hell that I am going to watch. You know which ones they are.
In Canada we have a Government Body called the CRTC which is supposed to make sure we get a fair deal from our Television and Radio broadcasters. Add up your cable/satellite, Phone, Internet bills and ask yourself whether the CRTC is doing a good job. The basic package that cable and satellite providers give is terrible, but there is no other choice. Soon "over the air broadcasting" will end..
