There are tons of people paying $30 a month for ESPN or $10 for AMC, or more, because of bundling. The bundling is designed so that if you want a single channel, you have to jump up an entire tier of service. This means that if you want basic channels plus ESPN, you have to jump up to that first tier, going from $16 a month to $64 a month.

That first non basic tier has options for me. There are two versions of it, one with kid's shows and one with ESPN. So if I want Nickelodeon and ESPN, I have to jump up another tier and I'm not paying $80 a month and I still don't get Game of Thrones.
