Why do so many channels on Fibe TV require a subscription?

[Lainey]

I am enquiring why so many channels on FibeTV require subscription.  When I was on Satellite TV I did not have this problem - I could get BBC and PBS etc., no problem.

Thanks for your question. Can you say more about what package you have on Fibe TV? That will help us give better answers.
