What's bad for Disney is good for America

A la carte would definitely hold down programming costs. It would be bad for the Viacoms and Disneys of the world, and also bad for the NFL and Hollywood (less money chasing their products). Great for consumers.

 Nah, basically what will happen is the Viacom's of this era will just fold up their "themed" channels, and just have one channel that shows all the stuff the 6 other channels used to show. MTV, VH1, VH1 Soul, MTV Hits, etc. all get combined into one channel that will play a variety of MUSIC. Maybe have two channels... another one for all the crap that MTV and VH1 run when they are not playing music videos.. but that's it. I just can not see Viacom keeping all the channels going at once. Especially since the channels Viacom own all seem to be the same exact type of channels... just with different programming, names, logos, etc.
