4 Things John McCain's Cable Bill Would Mean for Subscribers

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) will fundamentally change television if his latest legislation succeeds: It would allow consumers to pay for only the channels they want to watch, instead of being forced to plunk down lots of cash for a full cable package of negligible offerings.

Here's a look at four things that the legislation, dubbed the Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013, would accomplish -- besides potentially taking a big chunk out of Comcast's profits:

1. Let You Stop Paying for the Hallmark Channel
2. Keep Broadcasters from Migrating to Cable
3. Maybe, Just Maybe, Lower Your Cable Bills
4. Make TV Personality John McCain Cool Again
