In this Wall Street Journal article (subscription required to read full article) it was noted that most households access 16 television channels, despite the cable industry average offering of more than 100 channels.The reporter suggests that the cable companies need to reduce the number of channels offered, something along the lines of “less is more.”
The reader comments were telling (and you can see all of them without subscribing) and humorous. Several suggested that the number of channels offered isn’t the problem, rather, it is the quality of those channels — and the high price to access them.
I’ve never paid for cable, and don’t watch TV. But what about you? Leave a comment and tell me:
- How many channels do YOU need?
- And in these days of economic uncertainty, have you considered eliminating “pay TV?”
- If so, in favor of what — free (broadcast) TV, web TV, no TV?
