Dear Ms. Dortch: On February 22, 2011, Ross Lieberman, American Cable Association; Thomas Cohen, Kelley Drye & Warren, LLP; and the undersigned met with Joshua Cinelli, Media Advisor to Commissioner Copps; Jennifer Tatel, Legal Advisor-media issues to Commissioner Baker, Dave Grimaldi, Media Legal Advisor to Commissioner Clyburn; and Marilyn Sonn, Acting Legal Advisor for Media to Chairman Genachowski. During the meeting, ACA discussed the issues raised in its comments filed in support of the Petition for Rulemaking and as reflected in its ex parte letter filed February 16, 2011, including the matters of (i) retransmission consent price increases resulting from joint negotiations involving multiple “Big 4” (i.e., ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX) broadcast affiliates in a single market, and (ii) retransmission consent price discrimination against smaller multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”).1 ACA presented information derived from the analysis of its economic expert, Professor William P.

    Ross J. Lieberman Vice President of Government Affairs American Cable Association 2415 39th Place, NW Washington, DC 20007 [email protected] (202) 494-5661 June 3, 2013 VIA ECFS Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Ex Parte Communication of the American Cable Association; 2010 Quadrennial Regulatory Review -- Review of the Commission's Broadcast Ownership Rules and Other Rules Adopted Pursuant to Section 202 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, MB Docket No. 09-182; Amendment of the Commission’s Rules Related to Retransmission Consent, MB Docket No. 10-71. Dear Ms. Dortch: The American Cable Association (“ACA”) has previously brought to the Commission’s attention the widespread and increasing consolidation in the local television station marketplace, particularly the rising prevalence of separately owned, same market Big 4 network affiliates (e.g., ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) coordinating their activities in ways that are harmful to competition and consumers. ACA submits this letter in the above referenced dockets now in light of the significant number of recent broadcast television mergers and acquisitions and sharing agreements, which present fresh evidence highlighting how broadcasters effectively ignore the Commission’s prohibition on duopoly ownership between top four-rated stations in the same market (usually Big 4 network affiliates), particularly through creative structuring of license transfers, followed by subsequent arrangements to coordinate activities. Taking into account deals that have closed in 2013, and those currently pending, within months there will likely be at least five new instances of top four-rated stations in a single market operating under a sharing arrangement, and the year is only half over.

  • The FCC's Broadcast Media Ownership And
    . The FCC’s Broadcast Media Ownership and Attribution Rules: The Current Debate Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Telecommunications Policy March 29, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42436 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress c11173008 . The FCC’s Broadcast Media Ownership and Attribution Rules: The Current Debate Summary The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) broadcast media ownership rules, which place restrictions on the number of media outlets that a single entity can own or control in a local market or nationally, are intended to foster the three long-standing goals of U.S. media policy— competition, localism, and diversity of voices. The FCC is statutorily required to review these rules every four years to determine whether they continue to serve the public interest or should be modified or eliminated. One part of these rules, the FCC’s attribution rules, identify criteria for determining when an entity holds sufficient ownership or control of a broadcast station that such ownership or control should be attributed to the entity for the purposes of applying the media ownership rules. The FCC proposes eliminating its Radio/Television Cross-Ownership rule because it is no longer needed to foster the goals of diversity of voices and localism. It also proposes modifying its Newspaper/Broadcast Cross-Ownership rule to allow certain types of combinations in the 20 largest markets. It proposes a technical change in its Local Television Ownership Rule, but otherwise would continue to prohibit ownership of two stations in a local market unless one is not among the four highest-ranked stations in the market and, after the combination, there would still be eight independently owned and operating commercial full-power television stations.
