Sen McCain Makes the Case for A La Carte Cable

A Q&A with Sen John McCain (R-AZ) who introduced a bill in Congress that would enable consumers to pay for only the cable TV channels they want.

He says, “My mother is 101 years old. She watches television all the time, but she doesn’t like football anymore. So why should she pay five dollars or six dollars extra for her cable service a month for something she doesn’t watch? … Maybe six dollars doesn’t mean that much to some people… but why should somebody have to pay that when they don’t watch it?”
