You do really need to read the thread before you post.
I already pointed out that there are several companies that will handle or
aggregate programming for you.
See here:

And this company here:

I'm no expert in this space, but as I've pointed out multiple times, there
are probably 50-100 small service providers in the US that provide video
programming to their communities. I guarantee you at least most of them
don't negotiate with all of the content providers themselves, on an
individual basis.
