We've done this before, but not for a while.

If you had to pick a lineup of 10 channels to watch — excluding PBS, CBS, ABC and NBC — what would you select?

1. Fox Soccer Channel
2. ESPN
3. HBO
4. MTV
5. HGTV
6. Comedy Central

2. History Channel
3. Comedy Central

**I'm assuming Fox is included in channels available**

I don't think I'd choose PBS if that was a choice

Are we talking just basic cable service. Or the 100+ you get with a dish and/or box?

ESPN
FOX
NBC
CBS (only for football)
Discovery Channel
Science Channel
Animal Planet
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
HBO

In somewhat of a real order....

USA
Food Network
Fox Movie Channel
Cartoon Network
Turner Classic Movies
Fox
G4
A&E
American Movie Channel
Comedy Central

USA
Fox
My Network TV
ESPN
ESPN News
NFL Network
GSN
G4
TLC (So my wife can keep watching What Not to Wear)
Noggin (So my 1-year old can get Jack's Big Music Show)

1. HBO
2. FOX Affiliate
3. Comedy Central
4. Discovery Channel
5. History Channel International (better programming)
6. ESPN
7. CNN

The rest can fuck off tbh.

1. Discovery Channel
2. Comedy Central
3. USA Network
4. Cartoon Network
5. History Channel

Honestly, I hardly watch anything else besides those channels, aside from the local affiliates (I've included all of them, CW, MyNetwork, etc in this category). It's just a load of shit and it's why my "Netflix + Local OTA + Web On-Demand" philosophy works out so well. With that, channels like HBO are just a repetitive bunch of shit.

Anyway, considering I have so many left, here are the channels I'd like to have there "sometimes":

6. TBS
7. WGN
8. Animal Planet
9. Food Network
10. A&E

1. RDS
2. The Score
3. Teletoon French
4. G4
5. Musique Plus
6. Fight Network

These are the only 6 "specialized" channels I have. I have a "10 channels for 10 dollars" deal, and the extra four are Fox, CBS, ABC and NBC since they are not basic channels in Quebec.

G4
USA
Sci Fi
HBO
NHL Network
Showtime
Discovery
Versus
TMC
Starz

1. FSN South
2. ESPN Classic
3. The Score
4. TSN
5. Discovery
6. Ths History Channel Internatonal
7. The Science Channel
8. F/X
9. Sportsnet Ontario
10. The History Channel.
