That's the way cable companies make money. They simply charge a fixed amount for a fixed amount of channels whether you watch them or not. Obviously you can choose packages, sometimes called basic, limited, premium. Then there's digital packages that offer more choices.
If you're lucky enough to live in the right area, Comcast offers packages, like "News", "Kids/Family", "Movies" that offer only those channels that fit that criteria, for instance, if you just wanted the "Kids" package, all you'd be able to watch would be Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney & other kid related channels.

Average cable bill?
A wise man once said, to watch television is expensive. Okay, maybe that does not take very much wisdom, and it may not even be true. But the fact remains that if you want the works--if you want premium channels with the sports packages and every NFL game every season--you can expect to pay upwards of $130 or more per month. If you want basic cable with several staple networks like NBC and CBC, then you are only going to pay around $19 to $24 per month. Everything in between is going to vary on what you want to watch.
