I'm to the point that I watch TV about 1 hour for the five weekdays. Good Lord it is trash. If it was not for my wife I would stop TV all together.

I have heard that there is a movement ongoing to have congress pass legislation allowing consumers to choose their channels. Anybody hear of the movement?

All bluster.

When GW was president, John McCain was promising cable ala-carte. It still has not happened -- because the network concerns like the cable/satellite bundling. The more channels for the networks, the more money from their cut of the cable/satellite invoice.

Ala carte may happen if/when networks see the end of the media paradigm they have been using for decades.
