Longhorn Network - Just say 'No'

I greatly appreciate the value provided by AT&T in bundling tv/wireless/internet services.  Similarly, the bundling of channels allows customers to access a variety of programming at substantial savings.

 

However, occasionally, programming comes along that is so expensive and directed at such a narrow, niche market that it deserves to be left off of the programming options or ordered solely as an 'a la carte' option.  If the reports about the price tag  to cable providers  to offer the 'longhorn network' (by ESPN) are accurate, the only way it could be added to current bundled programming packages is at substantial cost to MANY people who have no interest in the programming. 

 

Please AT&T, keep prices low, by either not offering or charging ONLY those who desire this programming option.

 

Thanks!

If U-Verse got rid of the channels I don't want, they would be down to about 5 channels.

LOL.  You have no idea the joy that you are missing.  😉

 

Don't you want to be able to make emotional posts on the forum about sports channels if not added or sports channels if added will make you change to another provider?

I guess when all major college teams start getting their own networks in the next 2/3 years we'll be on here posting say no to ?? U network.  The Pac-12 already has a network planned as well as USC, UCLA and one other school.   I for one welcome each and every new channel regardless whether I watch it or not.

As long as I'm not forced to pay for a channel, bring 'em on!

LOL.  If it is included in your base package, you will pay along with all the other unwanted channels in your base package.
