I've seen worse and a lot less then the Skill Centre line up.
Iceberg has some line ups to check out from around his neck of the woods. You think these are bad.

Well, how about a cable system that ONLY offers locals/PEG channels & NOTHING else, but they DO also offer cable modem???
There actually is such a system, it's out in the St. Joseph, MO DMA. (can't remember if it is actually IN St.Joe, or on the outskirts) I read about it in a trade mag - the system, with TV subs declining more & more, decided that since they were SO small town, they could just NOT compete any longer against DBS AND the rising costs from the programmers, as well as a costly digital video upgrade.
So, going on their one lone strength of being the ONLY broadband provider in the area, (no DSL here) they decided to remove ALL satellite/national programming from their system & offer ONLY broadband service with the locals INCLUDED in the price. Their sub base actually went WAY up & because they did NOT have the expenses associated with providing video service, (rising prog costs, equip costs/maintenance, etc) their profits went UP as well. So, instead of trying to compete with DBS & LOOSE, they offer themselves as a COMPLIMENT to DBS & making money.
And, when you stop to consider that E* will NO longer be able to do SV, which also means they'll probably be skipping the ONE network DMA, & that D* doesn't offer St.Joe at all, they'll probably keep suceeding on this business model, since they CAN provide ALL necessary St.Joe & Kansas City locals.
