The new data indicates cable and satellite customers could see their bills fall by as much as 13% if the pricing scheme was implemented.
I always hear "them" say that but I have yet to see any type of utility bill ever go down in price. 
I like the concept of an a la carte choice option, but I too am the type of person who will occasionally watch certain channels as I surf through them, though I may not watch them with any regularity. I would hate to lose them just on principle.
I would hope that the version of a la carte that gets settled on would include bundled versions - a "home" bundle, a "sports" bundle, a "Latin" bundle, etc., in addition to individual channels.
It would be interesting to see how TCM is treated in that instance, since most providers seem to include it in their basic offering, while CV only makes it available in their highest package or by a separate $4.95./mo charge.
