Menu pricing for TV channels

Eye-opening breakdown of where your cable TV dollars go. Interesting that 40% goes to sports channels.
Hate Paying for Cable? Here’s Why.
The huge cost ($80-100/mo here for Rogers with a PVR) is why we canceled our cable; it’s just too expensive for how much we used it. I’d be happy to pay a more reasonable amount for a smaller selection, like if iTunes starts distributing TV on a subscription or if something like Hulu turns into a pay service. But, $100/mo when it feels like 50% of what you’re seeing is advertising is ridiculous.

You do know about http://www.surfthechannel.com, right? Okay, the resolution is not great, but for sit coms, it ain’t about the depth of field…

I hadn’t heard of surf the channel, thanks. We don’t tend to watch much TV via the browser, I’ve got a media center PC setup with the TV to watch locally. I’m also looking into maybe recording from digital TV broadcast, if I ever get around to setting up an antenna.
