So let’s add tsn $20, sportsnet now $20.

Now we’re up to $100 total but obviously would still lack access to many core network channels cable offers. I don’t watch a lot of network tv but i’ll happily pay an extra $10 a month to watch shows live and commercial free instead of streaming them off the city/global/ctv websites a day or two after air with mandatory commercials.

But that’s also missing one of the key problems, netflix, amazon and disney have unique content meaning cable subscribers need it too. And as content becomes more and more fractured, you’re likely to need access to half a dozen or more services to watch all the shows you used to be able to watch on netflix alone.
nbc?
