This is exactly why you can't buy cable channels a-la-carte. These companies impose an all-or-nothing rule in their carriage contracts to jack up the "potential viewership" numbers to advertisers on their lesser channels. ESPN is the most expensive basic cable channel out there, but if you're not a sports enthusiast, just try saving a couple bucks by excluding it from your cable package.
