Hahahaha! Whoops. I'm so used to the carriage fees being listed as monthly costs, so I just assumed it was $4 per month. i.e.: some Sportsnets in the US get over $2 per month. ESPN was getting $4.50 per month in 2011.
So, basically, people are getting up in arms because Sun TV is doing what every other cable channel has to do, and ask for an adjustment on their carrier fee. And they are asking for 33 cents per month?
I don't care for Sun TV myself, but it seems a few people here are simply trying to invent hypocrisy. They have to play by the same regulatory rules as everyone else.
