Hello, all We are sending this note out to people who might be interested in a 'cost of media' survey. As many of you know, I worked in media many years, and continue to be a media consumer. We've come a long way from the days when the main TV channels were the three commercial networks and PBS. In recent years we have noticed our use of media has changed. We now get most of our news and information from the internet. And with the arrival of Netflix, much of our entertainment comes from the internet, as well. If you will share with me your media subscriptions and monthly cost, I will compile and share the responses with all who participate (removing identities but including demographics such as age.) We are debating dropping cable TV altogether and going with over-the-air HDTV broadcasting with an antenna, while keeping our internet subscription. Your input will be helpful as we consider this change, and might be helpful to others who wish to compare options as well. I'll go first: We currently subscribe to digital cable TV through Time Warner and high speed internet through the Time Warner Road Runner service. This comes to $145 a month. We also subscribe to Netflix at $10 per month. We subscribe to National Geographic for $30 per year and Wired for $10.We recently dropped our long time local newspaper subscription, and instead we access local and national news on the web. So our monthly media budget is now approximately $158. Our Verizon cellphone bill is roughly $50 a month, and we also have an ATT Landline for $30 a month. Please respond with your media subscriptions and monthly cost, and I will share the results of this survey with you. Naturally, I hope you will participate, but simply ignore this if you are not interested. You can PM me with the info, or send it to ncstockguy@gmail.com Best wishes, Ron
