Did we really have any “free TV” before the greedy networks announced this?
Today the billionaire television network CEOs have actually admitted that they want even more money. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/12/29/ap/business/main6032487.shtml
Be sure to read the comment on the above link. When will it end? When will we stop being slaves to greedy corporations? I refuse to pay for 750 hours of commercials everyday. Don’t believe there is that much. Check your program guide for “paid programming” over just the basic 120 channels, there are at least 30 hours PER DAY. There are 15 min of commercials during each one hour program over just 1 channel, which is 6 hours PER DAY, PER CHANNEL which is 720 hours PER DAY over the basic 120 channels. This is paid commercials and Murdock says that they aren’t making enough money when they are double billing the advertisers and customers for the same broadcast time. Will we continue to support this greed? I for one can’t wait until my contract is up with Direct TV.
I agree……no more tv with rabbit ears……..my cable just went up by 4.00 ( 62.75 per month) and they took away 2 stations I watch ( PBS and a health station)
