This is, frankly, a very silly thing to get hung up on.
First of all, I assume you mean you have to make some payment that goes to that channel, not that you're forced to watch it.
Second, this means you're essentially passing a presumably small tax that is earmarked for that channel.
In other words, it's not any different from all the other taxes: paying them is part of life in society, and you're never going to agree with all their uses.
I bet there are far bigger items in your government's budget that you disagree with.
