One of the reasons I quit Comcast so many years ago was the cost. It was approaching $50 a month to get anything my wife and I thought worth watching. It also irritated me that some of that money was going to channels like Fox News.

For a few years we were watching mostly DVDs, some we bought new, some we rented, some I found in thrift stores. Then one of our children, home from college, set us up with basic Netflix.

A lot of young people these days, and people living on fixed incomes, simply can't afford cable or satellite television. Once they've paid the rent, their grocery, cell phone, and the rest of their bills there's nothing left.

Maybe the sponsors of NFL football and MSNBC don't care. People without spending money are not their customers. But that's short term thinking. Once people stop watching traditional television they don't go back. And people who have never watched traditional television don't start.
