Another argument against cable a la carte

As I have mentioned in the past, the FCC reported that cable a la carte could cut your cable bills by up to 13 percent. Though this may be a true statement, it also is misleading. According to Bruce Leichtman of Leichtman Research Group, to actually save money with the a la carte system, consumers would have to get less than 16 to 20 channels. So, if you only watch a few channels, you would actually save money; however, if you like several TV shows on different stations, a la carte cable would not work for you.
