A lot of years ago we had COX cable and we had a package with the Out Door Channel, one day I came home from work, flipped on the ODC and a Hispanic Jewelry sale was on, what the hell? Then came a commercial from Cox about reporting people stealing cable and after a few beers and burning about my ODC being removed, I decided to call them and report cable theft. Got this lady on the phone and told her, my ODC had been stolen, she kept telling me that there had been a programing change and the ODC had been removed from our package, and I just kept playing dumb and saying I had it one day and next next I didn't, someone stole my cable, after 45 minutes, I brought in a cooler of beer and sat it beside the phone for this conversation. When she explained it to me for the umpteenth time I got real quiet for 30 seconds and replied, so you are the ass holes that stole my cable, sounds like a class action law suite to me, two weeks later I had the Out Door Channel back. Last year and this year SirusXM radio has taken the only radio station and reason for my subscription to XM off the air for 4 weeks total, last year it was for Hanukkah music and this year for Dolly Parton Radio to promote a movie on Net Flix's she co stars in. Class action law suite?

I never understood paying for radio. I can listen to whatever song I want whenever I want and make several playlist for any mood on Spotify for free if you dont mind commercials.

Or if you want commercial free and unlimited skips, its $9.99 a month.

If you want to spend some more time you can do this for free with a an app and your phone.

I'm also a cord cutter on cable, YouTube has whatever I want to watch whenever i want and i can choose when it's over with very minimal ads.
