But rest assured, if you want to pay for your cable channels individually, you will end up paying a ton more. A report from Needham Insights issued last month suggested that 20 million viewers would pay $30 a month for ESPN, which would give the network the $600 million a month it needs to keep functioning, because that's what it makes today. That's right: you currently pay only $6 a month for ESPN, because you and 100 million other people have the network, and they can afford to take comparatively little from you. Let's say that factor of five holds true across all the networks you watch: suddenly you're paying $6.06 for TNT ($1.21 a month) $4.10 for Fox News ($0.82), and so on down the line. In fact, if you factor in only the top 10 most highly-compensated networks (and ESPN is by far the highest, so they're all south of that $6 figure), you're up to $78 with only ten channels.

Cable doesn't have 10 channels that I want to watch. Maybe 4 during football season.
I had cable, I would regularly surf though 70+ channels and not find anything on. But it would take me a half hour so I figured I would scan through again and see what was on. Still nothing. Repeat. Still nothing. I called Cox and asked them if they could put TCM in their expanded basic package. They told me that it was a premium channel and they would never put it in a basic package but I could get it if I signed up for digital cable. I told them that I had just moved to BR from NO, and it was part of the basic package there. They told me, "No, it isn't." I cancelled my subscription.
I just use the antenna.
So 20 million would pay $30 for ESPN, but would 30 million pay $20?
I'd pay $20 for ESPN - during football season.
