Re: Price is getting too high... said by Albert71292:Not ONLY price made me finally "cut the cord". History Channel became the Pawn Ice Road Pickers Channel, MTV stopped airing music, VH1 Classic stopped airing the videos MTV used to show, Bravo became the Runway Housewife channel, AMC went commercial and stopped airing classic films, TLC became the "lets have a million kids" channel, IFC went commercial and stopped airing independent films for the most part, BBC America stopped showing shows from Britain,started showing "Star Trek:TNG", etc. What pushed me over the edge was Oprah hijacking Discovery Health and making it impossible for me to see Dr.G Medical Examiner!
Wish I could approve your post a hundred times. 
Man, you hit the nail on the head.
Discovery similarly went down the toilet with their lineup of reality rubbish every single night. I haven't watched anything on TLC, Discovery, or the History channel in well over a year. And if they took those stations away tomorrow I'd say good riddance.
I didn't watch the Discovery Health Channel that much, but it really pissed me off as well when Oprah took it over. What an ego that woman has to think that people would be interested in an "all Oprah, all the time" channel. Good grief.
If I had any option whatsoever to get an OTA signal I would dump my cable as well. :-(

When you are paying over $100 a month and there is rarely anything good on, it is pretty easy to make the decision! |

Now that the Weather Channel has turned to trash, and rarely shows the weather anymore, it is of no use to me.
I really only keep cable for the local news and the SyFy, Food, and the Travel channels.
I'm still getting analog cable, although I do have 1 HDTV. The rest are tube sets.
What I read is that cable companies can stop carrying analog altogether at the end of this year. If my cableco decides to try and force me to go digital, which will increase my bill by another $40 a month- that will be the proverbial "straw" AFAIC. I'll get rid of it then.

kudos:1 | Haha, same channels for me
But stopped watching SyFy when they canceled Stargate SG-1.
Good luck and too bad you can't get OTA. |

I liked Stargate Universe and Sanctuary. I also like Warehouse 13, Alphas and Eureka.
But SyFy started to slip when they:
1) started showing wrestling. Seriously- wrestling?
2) changed their name from SciFi to "SyFy". Just seemed dumb to me. :-(
