I would probably remove one of my shopping channels, since I never buy anything from them and I almost never watch them.

Most of the news channels we have. One or two is fine, but we have like 10 that show exactly the same thing.

Probably the Golf channel. They already have a sports channel so why do they need a channel just for golf?

SA, why do you have to be so mean? There's SOOOOOOO many channels I would remove! :mad:

If I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY had to choose, though...The religion channel they have here.

But I would also remove the following:

-All 10 sports channels.
-All news channels except for CNN.
-MTV
-Disney (We got Disney when it was a PAY channel, WAY back in 1994/95. Now, it's PLAIN CRAP. I'd like to slowly kill the guy that brought out Disney and changed it to a kiddies channel. WHERE ARE THE FAMILY MOVIES THEY USED TO HAVE BACK THEN?!?!?! DIE DIE DIE DIE)
-Both QVC and HSN channels. UGH.
-TNN, the stupid car channel they have here (not sure of name) and Court TV.

I think I would only have about 10 or so channels out of 60 after this BIG cleanup. :livid: :livid:

MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack
(Beck Hansen)

mtv makes me wanna smoke crack
fall out of the window and I'm never comin back
mtv makes me wanna get high
can't get a ride no matter how I try
and everything's perfect
and everything's bright
and everyone's perky
and everyone's uptight
I watch those videos
I watch 'em all day........
and I plug 'em in my eyeballs--
hey hey

and the colors are nice
and the pictures are nice
and the girls are nice
everything's so nice
I said mtv makes me wanna smoke crack
fall out of the window and I'm never comin back
mtv makes me wanna get high
can't get a ride, can't get a ride
can't get a ride, can't get a ride

well I work at the video store makin change
and I'm countin out the pennies twistin in my brains
condos in the distance and smog in the air
no one in the streets and no one anywhere
and I drink what I drink and I eat from a can
and I'm standing near the microwave
'til I feel special
now I'm checkin out the furniture, I wanna buy some
might buy a wheelchair and roll out of this town
yeah, and mtv makes me wanna smoke crack
fall out of the window and I'm never comin back
mtv makes me wanna get high
can't get a ride, can't get a ride
can't get a ride, can't get a ride
can't get a ride, can't get a ride
mtv makes me wanna burn flesh!

I have several Discovery Channels somewhere on my dial. One of them appears to show black and white footage of WWII fighter planes on a continuous loop.
I could probably do without that one.

I like a lot of the channels on cable, but there's a lot I don't like. I'd remove

C-SPAN (who really watches this channel?)
All sports channels
CMT
The Weather Channel
Golf Channel
All Shopping channels
MSNBC
Fox News
History Channel

That's really all. Any other channel I do or have watched.

All the shopping channels
The Tax Information channel
All the "Sports Alternate" channels
HGTV

But most of all...Lifetime Movie Network. :barf:

I would get rid of any or all of the shopping channels.


Many of the channels listed by others here before me have interesting programs. Some channels have more of interest than do other channels.

I rely on CNN for important national and world news. Discovery is informative. PBS has good drama. C-Span, though not something that I watch, is a good way to educate people on how the government runs. Most channels have something that interests someone.

Many of the channels get repetitive; many duplicate what is seen on other channels. Kind of like TV Land and Nick @ Nite vs Hallmark, or any other channel that shows old reruns.

^You'll be surprised at the amount of viewers they get.

But, I mean here in L.A.- we SERIOUSLY have some USELESS/POINTLESS channels:
-The Caltrans Channel- it shows a plain freaking map of the freeways/interstates around L.A.
-The CSU Dominguez Hills/USC Channel- it's just a bunch of idiotic college students messing with video equipment, and the rest of the time is a schedule of classes.
-Local News- it's like a cheap power point presentation that keeps on showing the same news over, and over again.

If you have those channels you will consider the rest of the channels in your line-up worth keeping!

Other than that I consider C-Span, C-Span 2, 4 CNN's, 5 Discovery Channels, 2 History Channels... quite a waste of space.

I think that those channels should of sticked to their MAIN channel, and not sprout to a whole set of mess of channels.

All those stupid channels centered around one boring thing. You know, like the Golf channel and the Fishing channel.

MTV needs to die. VH1 is so much better.

I'd drop any of the five religious channrls we get....except for TBN and i-LifeTV. TBN has those hilarious music videos and i-Life has religious comedians....it's laughing at them, not with them
