We all want ala cart choices. Just give me the channels I want. And someday that will likely become the reality. I bet, though, when that comes to pass...we'll end up paying more than we do now.
It won't work like "take my current cable price and just remove the price of the sports channels". It will be $5 to the ABC Family, $5 for the Oprah Channel, $5 for ABC, $5 for NBC, $5 for CBS and so on.
Right now everybody is subsidizing the options for everyone else. The non-sports watchers are subsidizing the sports channels. The households without kids are subsiding the price of the kids programming. The action loving people are subsidizing the women's oriented channels.
CBS just released their own app...$6 a month just for CBS content. I already pay $8 month for netflix and $100 year for Amazon prime which gives me a lot of content. I do like some shows on CBS but not enough to add another $6month charge.
Probably in the future I'll switch month to month. Keep netflix while I binge watch Dexter. Drop it and add CBS Now for binge watching some other show. Etc.
