cable packages
A la carte cable is the way to go

Now, this is the kind of cable package I want. Instead of having to pay a lot of money for one package that will have about 30 or 40 stations I never watch, what if we could pick the stations we want and pay for each one? Alex Beam at the Boston Globe says that this is what he wants too. Following Beam's lead, here is what I'd have:Must Have: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, Comedy Central, Bravo, CNN, MSNBC, TV Land, Nick, both ESPNs, Travel Channel, Food Network, Tennis Channel
Wouldn't Mind Having: Game Show Network, HGTV
Don't Want: Lifetime, Golf Channel, MTV, FOX News, WE, Oxygen, Court TV, all the shopping channels
What networks would you pick if you could get them this way?
