That was called the Z channel is Southern California about 30 years ago. It failed. People did not want to pay for service they thought should be free. I liked it though because I could watch unedited movies and some Dodger games. I still pay for programming not available on OTA. It's all about choice. I gave up cable when they discontinued one of my favorite channels. DISH has everthing I want in addition to my OTA.
