MODERATORS
if they put all their tv/cable channels online and had a comparable ease-of-use of turning on a tv and flipping channels (without jacking d+ rates up--except espn; sports channels should be separate), they'd see a huge influx of subs and higher long-term retention of them.
but, they won't do that. they have the cable and satellite companies by the balls, and they squeeze regularly. gotta extort higher overall profits from that dwindling customer base--and they do.
