CRTC "Pick and Pay and pay"

The CRTC "pick-and-pay" decision deserves only minor applause. The proposed so-called "skinny basic" package will probably offer so many channels with very low viewership that consumers may end up being no further ahead in trying to retain what they now watch. Cable companies will understandably approach this change keeping their financial bottom line as their main priority and it is doubtful the adjustments will produce any noteworthy savings for most people. As a consumer, I will hold off in breaking out the champagne. The channel offerings will probably end up being a case of pick and pay and pay and pay.
