As much as I would love to save money, and would love to just stick with the 10-15 or so channels I actually watch on a regular basis I think A La carte would end up hurting in the long run. Some channels would definitely go out of business making our choices less. You may say then that just shows they are not getting enough viewers, but certain channels are targeted for a specific group of people. You start Al La Carte and you are going to end up with a lot less selection. The only time I think a la carte is good is if a certain channel cost considerable amount more than the rest such as the sports channels. It makes since to me that if the cable company blames some rate hikes on certain channels, then those certain channels need to be a la carte so it doesn't affect everyone as much. That way those high cost channels can actually see if they are worth the price they think they are worth when consumers act with their wallets by not paying extra for them..
Just my thoughts.
