Charter offering a sports free streaming bundle for $20/month

Can add sports for $12

Yeah ... if traditional payTV wants to stay in the game ... they're going to have to get on board with offering a product in the $20-30-40/month tiers, like the streaming services.

As always, bundling is their best bet to get more $$$ per customer.

This ties-in the auction of the UHF channels 37 and above to the wireless carriers. Seems the could start up new viewing experiences with the wireless companies (i.e. Mobile TV).
Suck for the 1,000 or so TV Stations that have to relocate to channels 36 or lower.

However, the article also states the 4k broadcasting could be sped up...they will really boost up the OTA stations for those that can afford the equipment to broadcast in uncompressed 4k. Most antennas sold already are 4k ready.
