I don't like music, so don't watch music channels however as MTV Base, MTV Dance, MTV Hits, MTV HD, Kerrang, Smash Hits, The Box and MTV Classic are part of the XL package then I am subsidising music. Also I forgot to add music on demand. I bet more money goes to music channels annually than goes to ESPN?
The subsidising argument can be used for pretty much anything on the XL package that you don't like. Think how unhappy customers who are on XL but don't have a HD TV must be subsidising all of the HD channels in their package that they never watch. These are the customers who are really getting it in the neck

Tough turnips to them though, bring on the HD!!!
