If 75 percent of Americans could be satisfied with that much TV program

Here, instead, you need 150+ channels, a hefty monthly fee, and add-on
proprietary receivers rented monthly from the service provider, in order
to impress your friends.

THAT'S the problem.


No Bert, THAT'S NOT the problem.
The problem is the crap that is offered by the FTA broadcasters. You my think it is good programming and offers plenty of choice, but the vast majority of Americans do not agree with you.
And that's not to say the pay TV is all that much better, although it does provide a wide range of content that is optimized around "special interests," (not political lobbies). 

Many Americans are doing other things with their time.
