  • And Other Federal Rules Affecting Programmer-Distributor Negotiations
    Order Code RL34079 A Condensed Review of Retransmission Consent and Other Federal Rules Affecting Programmer- Distributor Negotiations July 9, 2007 Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Industrial Organization and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division A Condensed Review of Retransmission Consent and Other Federal Rules Affecting Programmer-Distributor Negotiations Summary When conflicts arise between a programmer (a broadcaster or a cable network owner) and a multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD, usually a cable or satellite operator) about the carriage of particular video programming, the price for that programming, or the tier on which the programming is to be offered to the end user, many consumers can be affected. Recently there have been several incidents in which a negotiating impasse between a programmer and a distributor has resulted in the programmer refusing to allow the MVPD to carry, or the MVPD choosing not to carry, a program network. While contractual terms, conditions, and rates are determined by private negotiations, they are strongly affected by a number of federal statutory provisions and regulatory requirements, including the statutory retransmission consent and must-carry rules, the FCC program exclusivity rules, local-into-local and distant signal provisions in satellite laws, copyright law provisions relating to cable and satellite, statutory commercial leased access requirements and program carriage and nondiscriminatory access provisions, and the FCC’s media ownership rules.

Cable and Baseball Delivering Growth Although recent Harris polls show baseball hasn’t expanded its fan base in years, the sport is alive and well on cable. As always, the local ratings picture represents a mixed bag so far this season—YES ’ Yankees coverage is down slightly, for example, while the Giants are up 42% on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area . Yet the game’s national success demands notice. A sampling: ESPN scored 6.69mln viewers for Mon night’s State Farm Home Run Derby to post YOY improvement after 2 declining years, TBS ’ post-season ad sales are pacing ahead of last year by more than 20%, and MLB Net has gained notable traction in ’11, including a 51% rise in 2Q total prime viewers, per Nielsen . “Our fi rst priority is always the quality of our programming, and in only our third year on the air, viewers are continuing to fi nd us, despite it not being easy to break through in a crowded marketplace,” said MLB Net pres/CEO Tony Petitti , noting how an increase in live weekday afternoon programming has goosed total day numbers, too (+42% in 2Q). A focus on pro- duction has led to a Sports Emmy win for “MLB Tonight” and the compelling pair up of game announcers Bob Costas and Al Michaels , said Petitti, and upticks in ad sales and distribution have followed.
