Family TV Packages Coming to Cable

I guess the FCC's a la carte discussion scared cable providers. According to MSNBC:

Under pressure from the government, the nation’s two largest cable companies plan to offer packages of family friendly channels to give parents a new way to shield children from sex, rough language and violence.

Industry leader Comcast Corp., No. 2 Time Warner Cable and several other companies will start offering “family choice” tiers, most likely by spring, said Kyle McSlarrow, head of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, the main cable trade group.
