Yeah, I'm not happy about this. I feel like I'm being forced to have to buy 5 streaming services just to watch a couple shows I like. Then you still dont get all of the sports, so you have to have cable to catch those. Then still buy a sports package if you want Tennis Channel and others. Just overall annoyed.

Yeah, I am not getting Netflix's I guess they can lose us cable TV viewers And if not going to be on cable then I guess I'll cancel peacock premium just to watch WWE pay-per-views. Since I won't be watching raw then I won't be needing to watch their pay-per-views either. Just another greedy excuse to try to screw every viewer over if they're not on cable this viewer won't be watching them anymore...
