What about those folks that ARE learning English but aren't fluent yet? What about those that are more comfortable in Spanish than English? What about a population that predominantly bilingual but an advertiser choses to pander to them in their native language?
If the Spanish channels are part of the basic package you bought from Comcast, Wyodiver, why are you even complaining? I'm CERTAIN there are other channels that you don't watch; why pick on the Spanish language ones? They're part of the basic package that EVERYONE gets. Most of it is programing from other countries; if it's profitable for Comcast to show, I don't really see how it's any sort of imposition on you - large or small - to just skip the channel. Are you really complaining about the extra work it takes to depress your thumb an extra time or two? Because that's what we're really talking about here. That extra movement and it's cost.
