obscenely high is the term used when someone wants something cheaper. Or in the case of some, any profits at all!
I just sent an email to my local Raycom Media station managers telling them my opinion, which is they are broadcast stations and deserve exactly zero from the cable/sat providers. I also told them that if they feel they should be paid for their free licensed content then they should become true cable station providers instead.
Of course they don't see it that way!
But I got to thinking about this a bit. There is so much to watch on so many channels that I'm generally at least a week behind in watching almost any series, many times much more behind than that. So even if I lose CBS & The CW for a bit, which is the stations in contention here, I won't be missing so much that I won't be able to find plenty to watch. Especially over the summer months.
And carrying on a bit further, since I signed up for the Flex Pack, I could drop the locals completely off that and use that $10/month for getting them all anyway. Here's how:
1. Use OTA for those locals I can get with the indoor antenna. That's ABC and Fox. Cost $0
2. Use Hulu Plus to get FreeForm (that's in a $10 pack too), and NBC. Cost $8-$12 depending on ad tolerance.
3. Get CBS All Access. Cost $7
So for $15/month I could get essentially what's in the "Local Pack" and "Variety Pack" which would cost $20/month.
Hmmm..... that's looking pretty good now that I type it!
