No explanation why?

After almost 40 years of paying for cable or satellite TV, I cut the cord once and for all last week. I don't watch any sports and can replace the other programming that I prefer by subscribing to services like Amazon Prime, Youtube premium, PBS Masterpiece documentaries, Kanopy, BBC, etc. I...

The full price of Select is $94 a month. How could they possibly discount it down to $14 a month? It would be foolish to turn down an offer like that. Something doesn't add up.

For a dollar or so more, you can also get Starz included.

You've owned them for 27 years? That is a pretty good run for a technological product. Time to move on.

This merger has nothing to do with NCAA, MLB, NBA, NHL or NFL.

Do you not understand that the CEO announced that they are cutting the dividend as soon as the deal closes? Plus the stock is down another 5% today.

AT&T admits it made a terrible mistake getting into media business with Discovery deal: analyst "It is rare that you see a management team and a board actually acknowledge so clearly that they made a terrible mistake and that they're willing to undo it. So I actually give them some credit for...

Now the word on Wall Street is that AT&T is going to reduce its dividend payout. Everyone takes a loss except for the top executives who engineered the takeovers in the first place. AT&T used to be known as a "widows and orphans stock", solid as a rock. No longer.

If the price is low enough you can really sell anything.

Do you ever get the impression that AT&T Management doesn't know what the hell they are doing? Nice work if you can get it.

People are the ones who are watching it.

The smartest thing is to get rid of the free gift cards to bribe new customers and instead use that money to keep current customer rates stable. Enough is enough. The gift cards are one reason for the high churn rate of switching between DISH and DIRECTV.

Why do you think they will be bringing it back?

I just noticed that DirecTV no longer gives out a free $200 Visa Gift Card for new subs. There is still a Costco offer that includes a $200 Costco gift card.

DirecTV did have a promo like that. They would actually reimburse you for your Dish Early Termination Fee. Unfortunately, that promo expired back in 2010.

Get rid of Dish and buy the most expensive DTV package. Don't tell your wife until it's over and done with. She loses nothing.

False. DTV isn't 2.7 times the size of Dish. Excuses, excuses. Comcast has many more customers than DTV but also lost fewer subscribers.

I don't see much price difference between DISH and DirecTV. Or in content either.

Dish lost 230,000 vs 620,000 lost at DirecTV. Comcast lost 491,000. Explanation? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/dish-loses-230000-pay-tv-subscribers-in-first-quarter

My viewing habits have also recently changed. I stopped watching news programming after the election and I don't watch live sports. Almost all of my viewing is on Amazon Prime Video, Roku Channel, Pluto, Kanopy, and YouTube Premium. I also can get Locast for $5. Why am I paying $69 a month...

Oops, sorry.

I thought you said this was going to be the "turnaround" quarter?

Yeah, like three years ago, with high speed internet bypassing satellite and cable TV delivery.

Their whole business model is flawed. Forcing people to pay for hundreds of channels that they don't ever watch.
