No, a 'free market' would require actual competition in the market as opposed to two or three companies controlling 90% of the market.

Personally I just want to be able to pay for the 2% of channels I actually watch instead of the 98% of the BS they pipe into my house that I don't care about.

I'm not a free market guy anyway. I look to the cigarette, oil and pharmaceutical industries as prime examples of why the 'free market' concept is only good for corporations and the consumer gets screwed with a cactus strapon.
