Would you embrace pick-and-pay cable?

@CityNews For sure. We cut cable already because we didn't watch most channels. Pick and pay would be perfect.

@CityNews careful what u wish 4. Your favorite channel may not have sufficient demand 4 your cable co. 2 carry when not supported by pkg.

@CarrrlyMcG @CityNews Yes! I only need cable for about 5 channels but end up having to pay $60 +/month just to get them!

Talbot here, time for another live chat. A lot of talkers in today's news. Thinking about cutting the cable TV cord? Would a pick-and-pay model change your tune? Let us know what you think. We also want to hear what you have to say about Ford's robocalls, and Bobby Orr's pitch to have Don Cherry in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

@CityNews the hhof has a builder category which includes any off-ice character and their contribution to the organization and game.

by Laurence via twitter 10/15/2013 8:32:08 PM
@CityNews yes Don cherry belongs in the hockey hall of fame

by midnytegirl via twitter 10/15/2013 8:32:10 PM
@CityNews he should have an exhibit of his suits too ... Seriously.

by ovie08 via twitter 10/15/2013 8:32:17 PM
@julijays @CityNews . If u want him in, might as well put BOZO the clown in too!

by frank provenzo via twitter 10/15/2013 8:32:22 PM
@CityNews @julijays . THats hilarious and a joke, why would they want a clown in the HOF?

by frank provenzo via twitter 10/15/2013 8:32:26 PM
@CityNews So do I. He has promoted the sport and the great country that invented it Canada

by Jo-Ann Eastman via twitter 10/15/2013 8:32:29 PM
@CityNews #The5 . Would help. Hate paying for channel's I've never watched.

by Chad Bree via twitter 10/15/2013 8:33:22 PM
@CityNews curious to learn more as we are right in the middle of making a decision regarding cutting the cable cord

by Natalie Romero via twitter 10/15/2013 8:33:34 PM
@CityNews Love him or Hate him, he is such a large part of our Hockey History. I say yes.

by Ashley Emond via twitter 10/15/2013 8:53:50 PM

Look TV had this 13 years ago but the Rogers and Bell forced them out saying it was unfair competition.

.@CityNews The better Q: "Will Torontonians fall for Robo calls, or are we too smart?" Put me down for we won't fall for it.

here's our story on Orr saying Cherry belongs in HOF www.citynews.ca

@CityNews don't agree, because the votes been made & shouldn't need to be supported by robocalls. Pig. LRTs the better choice anyway

by chlobotxo via twitter 10/15/2013 9:28:41 PM
@CityNews absolutely without a doubt

by TakeMyNeon via twitter 10/15/2013 9:29:00 PM
@CityNews I don't agree with it. It's just a smear campaign to make Coun. Ainslie look bad in his ward. Rob Ford doesn't play nicely. #truth

by JohnNatale2 via twitter edited by michael.talbot 10/15/2013 9:35:34 PM
@CityNews I think the ppl should know how they vote. But I disagree with robocalling ppls homes to do it

by kelsiee__ via twitter edited by michael.talbot 10/15/2013 9:35:36 PM
@CityNews He wasn't "informing" Ainslie's constituents. The language wasn't neutral. He was smearing Ainslie for disagreeing with him.

by THE POWERS OF HELLLL via twitter edited by michael.talbot 10/15/2013 9:35:38 PM
@CityNews Mayor Rob Ford should not single out a councillor just because he did not agree with him thats called bullying no I dont agree

by Sabri Bafakih via twitter edited by michael.talbot 10/15/2013 9:35:40 PM
Ford's robocalls. Fair game or out of line?

by michael.talbot 10/15/2013 9:35:43 PM

@CityNews no. the vote had been tallied, it was done. so the calls were either bullying or campaigning. neither are acceptable.

by mistrae via twitter 10/15/2013 9:47:04 PM
@CityNews @doncherry4hall should he be inducted? Obviously, without a doubt.

by stevedbartlett via twitter 10/15/2013 9:48:34 PM
@gordperks @ElliottRoss6 @CityNews A better Q. would be: "Will the robocalls backfire and go against Mayor Ford?" #TOpoli

by Emily via twitter 10/15/2013 9:49:15 PM
@CityNews I'd rather pick and pay for my cable. I currently have channels that I don't even watch. Such a waste of money.

by Judy Costantini via twitter 10/15/2013 9:59:10 PM
@CityNews They should put his awful wardrobe in the HOF. Not him!
