I want more a la carte. Give me one service without bundles where every "channel" has a price. I don't want my provider negotiating a 14-channel package for every viewer (YouTubeTV and NBC Universal). I don't want MTV and VH1, but I do want Tennis Channel (which isn't an option).

Do not pay Disney, and send an email to the US Tennis Association or whoever keeps contracting with ESPN.

If you keep paying Disney to watch Tennis, you will never get it a la carte.

Apple TV did just that, but you have to manually purchase all the separate streaming services available locally
