I Pay for Hundreds of TV Channels but Only Watch 11

I Pay for Hundreds of TV Channels but Only Watch 11

According to Neilsen, Americans on average receive 189 channels but only watch 17.

That got me wondering how many stations I watch.  Let's see....

I watch a lot of sports.  That includes:

  • TSN
  • TSN2
  • Sportsnet
  • Leafs TV
  • CBC (for HNIC)

And I watch a lot of CBCNN.  That has us at 6 stations.  And Mad Men is on AMC and Cosmos is on Fox, that's two more to bring us to 8.

I popped over to CP24 the other day to hear what they were saying about the newest Rob Ford crack video.  That has us at 9.

Hamilton's channel 11 provides me with 60 Minutes and Jeopardy!, so that brings us to 10.

Throw in a titch of TVOntario and we're done at 11.  I've watched a grand total of 11 stations in 2014.

Like I said, I'm getting completely screwed by Rogers.
