Figured I'd put this in here instead of Tunnels because it's something that's been talked about in here a lot - the idea of a la carte cable services.
Also came across this chart of channel prices (although it's 3 years old).
So if you got to do this, which channels would you pick? Or would you keep them all?
Full story: http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/john-mccain-cable-legislation-a-la-carte/John McCain wants to unbundle cable and to stop broadcasters like CBS and Fox from moving their stations to pay TV. The Arizona senator right now on the Senate floor is introducing The TV Consumer Freedom Act of 2013 (read it here). The legislation is intended to “allow the consumer, the television viewer who subscribes to cable, to have à la carte capability. In other words, not required to buy a whole bunch of channels that that consumer may not want wish to subscribe to,” McCain said moments ago. The former GOP Presidential candidate also went after broadcasters like CBS and Fox who have said that they could move to cable if they lose in the courts against Barry Diller’s Aereo streaming service. “We’ll also establish consequences if broadcasters choose to downgrade their over-the-air service,” McCain told the Senate. His legislation would also eliminate the sports blackout rule “in events that are held in publicly financed stadiums.”
