CWA Says Cable Choice is Consumer Choice 3/15/2006 Washington, D.C. — Concerned Women for America (CWA) says that cable choice, the option that allows cable customers to choose which channels they wish to subscribe to, is the only solution to the ever-increasing problem of indecency on cable stations.
“The American people are demanding cable choice because they want control over their TV screens,” said Lanier Swann, CWA’s Director of Government Relations. “Families do not want to be taken advantage of any longer. As Americans see more and more filth filling their cable channels, they are demanding an opportunity to opt out of having to view and subsidize such inappropriate programming.
“The FCC’s recent report confirms what we’ve been saying all along - cable choice is in the best interest of the consumer. The report indicates that customers could save up to 13% on their monthly cable bill. It clearly defeats opponent’s claims that cable choice would cost consumers more money. Cable choice would put money into consumer’s hands. The report further shows that cable choice is indeed economically feasible, despite false claims from cable companies.
“Cable choice is all around better for the buyer. It gives viewers power to choose which channels come into their homes and saves them money at the same time. Cable millionaires are the only ones benefiting from the current ‘all or nothing’ system. The rest of us are suffering from their greed and unwillingness to listen to customers needs.
“Cable providers are now without excuse. It is time to respond to consumers’ demands and finally give American families what they deserve: choice.”
