Why do I have to pay for TV networks I never watch?

Just five multi-billion-dollar corporations own or control about 90% of existing TV Networks – both those you want, as well as many of those you don’t. And they won’t let you have the most-popular networks unless you get the less-popular ones, too. In turn, if we ask for a price for just the most-popular networks, a common response from network owners is to raise their price, effectively eliminating this option from consideration.
