Is Spectrum the only cable provider in the St Louis area? My monthly bill is ridiculous and am looking for other options.

going full streaming w/ Sling might be something for you to consider.

When we finally bailed on Spectrum about 18 mos ago we were paying 170ish a month for cable only. I think that got us Max and a sports package. We also had Netflix, Apple, Prime and maybe Hulu.

Went to Youtube TV. Started at 70 a month and I paid 10 extra for a sports package that included my crack channel, the NFL red zone. Youtube bumped 10 bucks a month a few months ago. So I'm at 90 now for what I was paying 170 for.

I pay 20/mo for the fan duel app for Cards/Blues. We pay the cheapest ad driven cost for netflix. We get Hulu for about 2 bucks a month with ads bc of my kids school. We get apple or at least parts of apple for free due to our T Mobile. Prime comes with Prime membership. I think we also get paramount as part of something. I don't watch 80% of this. When I do watch it's youtube, fan duel or apple. Occasional nextflix. I'll dump Hulu when my last kid graduates. I can't tell you the last time I watched anything on Prime but we buy enough (bleep) on Amazon that it will always just be there. I also pay 50 a month for home internet. All of this stuff just bleeds money.

I know it's years away but I can't wait for the day when I can customize the 9 channels I care about.

I am a YouTube TV honk, I really like it. You can also edit the guide to be the channels you watch most at the top, which makes searching for shows easier. I also have MAX, Disney+ and AppleTV (which I think is one of the best streamers for the money, lots of good shows).
