Cable TV is honestly getting ridiculous.

I think the content providers best course of action is to begin paring down the number of channels they carry and lowering costs to the consumer. I don't need a dozen different sports channels who are mainly filled with talking heads and I don't need multiple channels that all play the same reruns of Cops and That 70's Show. In a time-shifting world, if I want to watch something I'll record it, I don't need multiple channels that play the same things over and over and over.

Cable companies and broadcasters also need to negotiate content exclusive deals so the shows that people do want to watch aren't available on the same day via streaming and stretch out the time before they're available on home video.

I think cable companies can turn it around but they're going to have to be inventive in how they do it.
