Mr. UPTON. Good morning, a second time. Today, we’re here to discuss the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act, also com- monly known as SHVIA. My wife Amy says it’s okay. The satellite industry has grown tremendously since Congress first became in- volved in 1988 and passed the SHVIA Act. All one has to do now- adays is to take a drive down the street, doesn’t matter if you live in the country or the city, to view firsthand the growth of the sat- ellite industry. Satellite dishes are now an everyday part of the landscape. Satellite Home Viewer Act was a piece of equal opportunity legis- lation, so to speak, for those folks who lived in parts of the country where broadcast signals were either weak or nonexistent. Legisla- tion was designed for consumers who lived in rural areas far from a local affiliate or who lived in areas that were blocked by sur- rounding terrain causing them trouble to receive broadcasts over the air. To help remedy that situation, the Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988 allowed satellite operators to deliver distant signals to con- sumers in such white areas. Anyone who has been to my District in Southwest Michigan knows that it is a prime example for the need of such legislation. To facilitate that regime, SHVIA created a statutory copyright li- cense for the retransmission of such distant signals and set a roy- alty rate rather than require the satellite operator to negotiate re- transmission consent with the distant broadcaster. Consequently, (1) VerDate 11-MAY-2000 08:51 Jun 08, 2004 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 92540.TXT HCOM1 PsN: HCOM1 2 the statutory license is set to expire December 31 of this year. That’s just one of the issues before us today. In 1999, Congress adopted SHVIA to extend the Satellite Home Viewer Act which was due to expire as well as to expand it. But simply SHVIA was designed to promote competition among multi- channel video program distributors such as satellite companies and cable TV operators, while at the same time increasing the program- ming choices available to consumers. In SHVIA, Congress granted satellite operators for the first time a statutory copyright license to carry local stations into the sta- tions’ own markets and set the license fee at zero. The satellite op- erator chooses to carry a local station in that market. It generally must carry all of the local stations within that market, unlike with distant signals, satellite operators can provide local signals to con- sumers, regardless whether the consumers can receive those sig- nals over the area and the statutory license has no sunset date. As we’ve often seen in the world of telecommunications, it has been difficult for legislation to keep up with technological progress. Here we are today 5 years since the passage of SHVIA with several portions of it set to expire December 31. The purpose of this hear- ing is to consider whether to extend SHVIA and determine if Con- gress should make any other changes in the regime governing sat- ellite delivery of broadcast TV. Many issues that we have to take into account: What should the satellite industry’s role be in the transition to digital? How should State subscribers and grandfathered subscribers be addressed? What are the ramifications of distribution using two dishes? Those are all important issues that will have extensive effects on satellite providers, local broadcasters and consumers. Today is the first step in reviewing the process of SHVIA. I hope that we will have a thought-provoking, constructive discussion on how to pro- ceed with the important issues at hand. I recognize that March Madness is upon us. EchoStar and Viacom are currently involved in negotiations. I look forward to having a productive hearing on this issue and what steps should be taken next that are in the best interests of providers, broadcasters and the American public. I yield to my friend, the ranking member of the subcommittee, the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Markey. Mr. MARKEY. I thank the Chairman very much and I thank you for this very, very important and it turns out timely hearing. I re- member many years ago there was a football player at Notre Dame whose name was Joe Theisman and he was a very promising fresh- man. People

Due to COVID-19, events that the HISDEF would normally host as fundraisers were unable to take place, such as the Daddy-Daughter Dance. The pandemic hasn’t stopped them from giving back to our students and staff! HISDEF awarded over $13,000 in classroom grants at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year which allowed teachers to utilize items earlier in the school year. Laura Popp and Amanda Rounsavall were awarded scholarships for continuing their education and the top 10% of seniors will still receive scholarships upon graduation. Campus grants will be given closer to the end of the school year and are usually for larger ticket items that can be ultilized by the whole campus. Pam Hamilton, HISDEF President, said that COVID-19 has resulted in decreased revenue for the organization and the disappointment of not being able to have fundraising events that have become highly anticipated in the community. “Despite these trials, we have been able to continue giving back to our students and schools,” Hamilton said. “Through the continued support of HISD staff and the community, we will persevere and strive to move forward in our mission to support HISD teachers and students.” As well as the annual staff drive and community donation drive, the organization did receive a large donation from Atmos Energy that will go toward Pre-K-3rd grade English-Language Arts.

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.
