Disney/Hearst and company are the ones pushing the yearly price hikes with both satellite and cable. They are the parent company of ESPN" the sports hogs", Disney channels; "kiddie movies", and LIfetime/Lifetime Movies/ Lifetime movies for Women; "The Battered B*tch channels ". Keep all of them out of the pack and look at the savings . Top 60 for 31.99 vs the family pack for $19.99 , a twenty dollar savings. You lose 20 channels but save 20.00 bucks. I imagine that if we could spin the Espn /Disney / lifetime channels off of all the programming packs we could all save $20.00 on our bills.
