I know "cut cable" is said often. I just saw a commercial for "keepmytv.org". Where basically they are saying that cable lobbyists are trying to make free broadcast stations fee based and only available through pay cable.
Lobbyists are trying to get it through congress by calling it "Local Choice" and saying that it is better for consumers because it will prevent the blackouts when broadcast stations and cable providers don't agree on their retransmission consent fees.
I know we personally would be affected as we haven't had pay cable for 4 years and rely on free broadcast stations for our (limited) tv entertainment.
