Really. The nation's religious broadcasters oppose a proposal by anti-indecency and consumer groups to allow people to subscribe to cable channels a la carte, rather than bundled. Industry groups actually make a pretty good argument that this seemingly straightforward increase in consumer freedom would actually stifle diversity of content:
But what started largely as a consumer issue has now morphed into a larger controversy involving whether cable operators should be required to continue exposing subscribers to niche channels, including religious ones, that people might not order on their own.
There's a third option that would provide the most freedom, encourage wider sampling of cable TVs offerings, and even provide a slight incentive not to waste one's life in front of a television. Require that cable companies sell content not by channel, not by blocks of channels, but by the minute. Unfortunately I just made that up and haven't heard anyone in a position of influence say the same. But hey, tell the FCC. Or just leave a comment here.
