as stated: "Only pay for the channels you want."
why not offering 2$ per channel then ?
that would make your false statement actually true

    Do you have to pay for channels you don’t want?

    I think the "base channels" are mandated by the CRTC. It's the optional channels that you can have for an additional small amount per month.

    I see, TV/Internet not available yet where I live. I would never pay 9$ for base channels I don’t want (and probably channel that are already free with a basic anthema).

    Fizz should sell the mandatory basic channels separately for $9 each.

    Some people are not in areas with good OTA reception.

    I don't know what current prices are but just because they are cheaper than competitors doesn't mean they are worth what they cost. :-)
    I think the mobile plans are worth it.

    According to federal regulations, they can't do that.

    True, but would still be better with no mandatory channels and let people choose what they want. Maybe there a CRTC or something rules that made those channels mandatory

    You are absolutely right.

    Plus the unpredictability of weather - snow, rain.
