Fantasy Draft

With this whole little dispute between Time Warner cable and Viacom finally settled, I thought it would be interesting to look at what channels one would choose to have. What better way to do this is in the form of another Fantasy Draft.

Fantasy Draft of TV channels (Premium Cable excluded). You can only watch the channels of those that you drafted, and you CANNOT watch the other shows on the Internet or with any other means.

1. Fox (it's got 24, House, reruns of Seinfeld,baseball games, and football games)
2. NBC (it's got Heroes, The Office, 30 Rock, and some football games)
3. ABC (it's got Lost, Scrubs)
4. FX Network (It's Always Sunny in Philedekphia, various movies)
5. Comedy Central (Daily Show, Colbert Report, various movies)
6. USA Network (various movies, Monk, reruns of House)
7. Discovery Channel (Cash Cab, Deadliest Catch, Myth Busters, various interesting shows)
8. G4 Network (reruns of Arrested Development, Lost, Heroes)
9. TBS (reruns of Office, Seinfeld, Family Guy, but also the home of Everyone Loves Ray)
10. ESPN (sports, but you can check scores in the paper)
11. CNN (news, but again you could always learn to read and read the paper)

Waiver wire picks:

• CBS (CSI, that's about it)
• TNT (various movies)
• Local Networks (reruns of Scrubs, Simpsons)
• The WB (Smallville)

I actually think it would be a cool way to run a cable provider is to give every subscriber a certain amount of points, and they can "buy" the channels they want. If they want to buy more channels, they pay a higher monthly fee. Each channel could be a different point value, depending on how popular it is. This way you would only get the channels you wanted
