Rogers makes me pay for the lamest channels

First there was the Sunset Channel



Then the Aquarium Channel



And of course the Fireplace Channel



What are they? Well channels that play endless videos to sunsets, aquariums, and fireplace. I don't subscribe to these channels but obviously I'm still paying for them.

Now Rogers, my local monopolistic cable provider, is adding the Chicken Channel. Now I can stretch out on the sofa and watch chicken roasting on a spit.



Thanks Rogers!

Hi,

This is Chris at Rogers. I'm part of the social media team.

In case there was any confusion, I just wanted to let you know that this isn't costing our customers anything. There is no additional charge for this channel.

Hey Chris from Rogers thanks for dropping by to read my blog. Nothing in life is free. I'm paying for every crappy cable station that I don't want and don't watch.

I'm sure you will be dropping by more often because I think I'll be posting more of my favourite Rogers "consumer friendly" practices.

For the love of all that is holy, please tell me you are joking; I am afraid to go an look.
I think it was the 3D preview channel, (you know, where you cross your eyes to get a 3d image) that pushed me to Netflix.
