Don't be so despaired. Cozi is not nearly as desirable as MeTV. Have had it for a month, watched once...nevermind.Yep, just add the no-Cozi to my ever-growing list of my bad luck.
Yeah, like an option for metered usage tiers.I think some flexibility with packages could help.
Instead, several pay-TV executives suggest creation of smaller bundles or tiers based on genre, from which viewers could pick and choose. For instance, a general entertainment package could include Time Warner's TBS and Comcast Corp.'s CMCSA +0.03% USA. Atop that package or standalone, subscribers could choose a sports bundle including channels like ESPN and regional sports networks. A news package might offer Time Warner's CNN, News Corp.'s Fox News, Comcast's MSNBC and Bloomberg TV, among others. A family and kids tier might include Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel.
Mediacom Communications Corp., a small cable operator based in Middletown, N.Y., has long agitated for unbundling. It advocates a "hybrid a la carte" model, in which those most expensive channels are sold individually on top of genre-based tiers.
You bring up the glaring need for ratings-based subscription fees. Channels get paid by the advertisers based on ratings...so should subscriber fees. The watched channels will survive, the unwatched will rightly die off. Many channels have a huge disparity between what they charge per subscriber and what their ratings are.You would also have to include a delivery charge for use of the network for either the satellite or cable company. Just like the gas and electric utilities.
Also remember ESPN get big advertising revenues by being in 100 million homes. If after being offered ala carte ESPN was in only 30 million homes they would attempt to make themselves whole through much higher subscriber fees. My guess is they would try and charge over $20 a month and then only if you subscribed for twelve months. If you only took it on a monthly basis so you could cancel after the the NFL season maybe as much as $25 a month.
These rates would then probably be marked up by by Dish as they want to make a profit also.

No ESPN? No problem.
(said 70 million homes)
Had to watch espn last night to see the Tarheel game.As March madness approaches espn will be on here more than it has since MNF went off.
Is CBS carrying all of the tourney games this year again?
O.T.A/ DVR? Just what and how much, please. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. I have the least for the least and I thank them for that, but $72 more is over my budget. Checked tivo and their box is fairly priced, as is the monthly fee. I only need the Dish system due to poor reception since Digital took over.
