I AM a paying subscriber to cable, and I will STILL go watch it somewhere else. Mainly because of the commercials. They should be PAYING ME to watch commercials. Am I worth NOTHING? Is my money spent on merchandise worth NOTHING? PAY ME!!!!

However, its so injected with commercials it hardly bearable. I estimate 20 minutes sports to 40 minutes sports. And the 20 minutes is inundated with commentary. Its very sad display. I also would like to add that they are trying to do away with open air broadcast in the U.S.

It’s such a ripoff.

So they can block you from the best events by putting it on one their other networks they own.
