Re: Skinny TV Salvation
I understand the focus on margins for service providers, but Disney in particular has the most to lose in this. In the US, every abandoned subscription costs Diz about $10 a month. That's serious money.

Re: Skinny TV Salvation
Isn't it all about maximizing revenue? I assume Disney would change its bundles tune, if it saw a way to make more money from skinny bundles. However, the way skinny bundles (and a la carte) currently work, it looks like consumers spend LESS over all to consume their media. I'm not sure how the economics could change, but maybe they could someday. If everyone was forced to subscribe to "something" -- then maybe skinny bundles would end up making everyone pay more? But I doubt the existing broadcasting rules would allow such a future to evolve. Maybe if the entire FCC is abolished... :P

Re: Skinny TV Salvation
dmendyk - it's a war of attrition. Skinny packages are ditching the less watched channels that got bundled into the full-fat packages. We may eventually grind our way to a la carte.

Re: Skinny TV Salvation
The logical offer is a la carte service, but that's something that content providers (looking at you, Disney) find abhorrent.

Re: Skinny TV Salvation
I have been pushing skinny bundles since before they were a thing. I think that this will ultimately become what cable providers offer with them making most of their money off of the price of internet.

I think that the Skinny Tv is better and more useful and efficent and it can save time and money on some things.
