A la carte cable would be like a la carte health insurance. ESPN adds about $5 to the average cable TV package; yet 50%+ subscribers never watch it and < 25% watch it on a regular basis. If it became a la carte the fee likely would be $20+ per month(which would cause even fewer people to subscribe) for ESPN to maintain revenue to maintain current programming (the original ESPN programming was beach vollyball and 5 year old Canadian football). It is like if maternity care was a la carte instead of adding $50 month to a monthly health insurance premium it would add $500.

I sure wish I could have an a la carte TV channel. We do have a satellite TV system so it would be possible if they WANTED it to be.

Sometimes I wish McFadden would label some of his characters,just so I could be 100% sure who is who.

Like the former con-guy-in-chief, Fox thrives on negative depictions by the “liberal” media. Just ignore all of them.
