Do people still watch satellite TV these days

[John2021]

Also DirecTV seams to be the only provider committed to sports (besides NFL)

YTTV dropped most RSN and about to loose Monumental

Now there having a dispute with Disney. How about a provider that let's people pick what channels they want and dump the rest.. nut that would cost a hell of alot more!!!

It's not up to the providers, it's up to the station owners to allow them do that.

There's a reason why MySports has to include CNN, Fox News and MSNBC in order to include TBS/TNT/TruTV, FS1/FS2/BTN and USA/Golf, and why Nexstar, who owns NewsNation, is the only broadcaster witholding their Big 3 affiliates from the genre packs. Or why MyKids didn't launch until Paramount got on board.

Yep, the program producers use thier more popular channels as leverage to get carriage for thier less popular channels.
