I know last week, DirectTV was fighting A&E channel over renewing and the shows were begging viewers to call their cable provider and complain.
Cable companies want higher rates and cable tv stations want lower rates, as they have to pay multiple cable companies.
I know 2 of my 4 kids have cut their cable, but when ask what they pay for netflix, hulu, roki and amazon a month, and how that cuts into what they think they are saving for cutting the cord, Not to mention, keeping internet, they agree not that much.
