Want to cut your cable bills?

A study recently done by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) may be able to help you out with reducing your cable bills. They discovered that if cable companies would offer programming on an a la carte basis, many subscribers would save money. Surprisingly, the study's results actually reverse an earlier FCC findings made in 2004 that concluded a la carte programming would actually be more expensive than our current system.

With the new study as his backing, Sen. John McCain plans to introduce legislation that would create an a la carte system, in which you could pick exactly which channels you wanted. Once this system takes affect, your cable bills could be reduced by 13 percent, according to the study.
