Question

I don’t even watch a lot of the channels on my television, so why do I have to pay for them?

Answer

All Satellite and Cable providers are required to pay Content Providers a set fee for every household subscribed to the TV service – regardless of whether anyone in the household actually watches it. This is the industry standard as it is today.

Many customers would prefer to pay for only the most popular Networks and a select group of quality, special-interest ones that appeal to them. This is something we would love to offer, but unfortunately Content Providers will not allow it. Part of the negotiations process includes them directing companies like BVTC on how their networks are packaged.
