After the Merger happens, what costs $139.00 a month will balloon to $159.00 a month or higher. Conbine this with the ever increasing number of cheaply-produced programming will do nothing but alienate subscribers, who like me have chosen to seek our entertainment and informational needs elsewhere. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Take warning, the whole system will eventually collapse like a house of cards. A house divided against itself cannot stand!
