If you had to get rid of cable and could only keep a couple of channels, what would they be?They could be either network or cable channels...

benjamoon · 12-11-2010, 12:18 AM

I would keep all the broadcast networks plus ESPN and probably Fox News/MSNBC (I like watching two different Americas lol). TV Land, TBS, and MTV would probably be next but I could live without them

retrofan05 · 12-12-2010, 01:18 PM

HGTV, Hallmark, Nickelodeon, and TV Land

tbswatcher · 12-12-2010, 01:24 PM

Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, MTV and all the locals.

Retro4Life · 12-12-2010, 01:28 PM

For me...SyFy, TCM, the networks (on the off chance they make anything watchable), Fox News, Discovery, History and Cartoon Network.

ESPN
ESPN2

Mr. Television · 12-12-2010, 01:57 PM

All the networks
ESPN and their other networks
NFL Network
TCM
USA
FX
Showtime (for Dexter)

As far as I'm concerned, they can get rid of over half their channels. Most of it's crap. If there was a classic tv channel, I'd keep that too.
