Who cares?
Let each company play their games as I go to other websites, view other stations, and decide what and when I am going to watch a program.
Alternatives are ... millions of websites to view, millions of books to read, movies to watch in a theater, amusement parks to visit, and people to just sit and enjoy speaking with about the fantastic day.
