Cable TV Choice

Today an excellent article appears in Slate about choice in cable television. Since consumers have so much choice in every other media and entertainment medium, why not cable? Does anyone really watch all those shopping channels? I personally, would never buy anything from one. Just the mention of the Golf Channel bores me to death, but the Citizen and I would eagerly watch the Tennis Channel, which well may have the same fatal effect on someone else.

The more channels there are, it seems the less there is to watch. Unfortunatley, we must have cable where we live because the broadcast reception is so poor. So we might as well choose what we want to pay for each month.
