Apples and oranges. The person that has all the streaming services, like me, would want all the premium channels. HBO, Cinemax, showtime, the movie channel are all 10 each. So now you’re at $133 and that is before all the add-on charges and any other packages.

I don’t know what the pricing is now, but I moved around a bit in college and after and in the late 90s and early aughts I had service from the each of big 3 and DirecTV at one point or another and paid 90-120 not inflation adjusted and that is just TV, this is pre-broadband.

You’re also not taking into account streaming discounts.

With tmobile the highest tier of Netflix is $7.

Annually and with a $25 statement credit from Amex HBO is $125/year, $10.42/month. (Legacy ad free so 4k)

Amazon I don’t count, I have prime for shipping, TV is a bonus, even if you don’t buy that putting the entire amount to video streaming is pretty disingenuous with everything else you get. Maybe call it $5/month.

My Disney trio gets me a $7/month AMEX statement credit so $18.

Paramount+with showtime is $120/year so $10/month. I also get a statement credit from AMEX for that but I can’t be bothered to look it up.

Starz is $70/year so $5.83/month. And it’s another one with an Amex statement credit I can’t be bothered to look up.

Additionally, all my streaming services get a 6% cash back from Amex on top of the statement credits.

So the ones you listed (I have more, I just did the ones you mentioned) would be $65.10-the statement credits I can’t be bothered to look up.

So about 50% cheaper with all the benefits of streaming over appointment commercial TV.
