  • Multicasts, ATSC 3.0 Turn Broadcasting Into a Multichannel Platform
    Perspectives from FSF Scholars October 12, 2020 Vol. 15, No. 53 Multicasts, ATSC 3.0 Turn Broadcasting Into a Multichannel Platform by Andrew Long * I. Introduction and Summary Consumers today enjoy a wealth of choices in the multichannel video programming distribution marketplace. This vibrantly competitive environment represents a dramatic departure from decades past, when claims as to the existence of bottlenecks were used to justify intrusive government intervention. One rising, and perhaps unexpected and largely unreported, source of multichannel competition is over-the-air broadcasting. Of course, dramatic changes in the media marketplace have been occurring for many years – and yet, due to its size, procedures, and inherent inertia, the "Communications Regulatory Complex" simply is unable to keep pace, especially in the face of considerable reflexive opposition by those who oppose any deregulatory changes. But with regard to broadcasting, cable, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), telco TV, and other media outlets, continued imposition of legacy regulatory restrictions of various types are in increasing tension with their First Amendment rights. Over the last ten years, the number of U.S. households that utilize an antenna to view their local television stations has increased by over a third, from nearly 11.8 million to 16 million. One explanation for that is the improved picture and audio quality that digital television (DTV) The Free State Foundation P.O. Box 60680, Potomac, MD 20859 [email protected] www.freestatefoundation.org delivers. Another is that, as consumers "cut the cord" – that is, discontinue their subscriptions to traditional multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) and transition to streaming options like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and/or Amazon Prime Video – over-the-air television provides a free means to continue to receive the popular content, both national and local, that television stations carry.

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.

Evans Counsel of Record Fletcher, Heald and Hildreth, PLC 1300 N. 17th St. 11th Floor Arlington, VA 22209 (703) 812-0400 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner PMCM TV, LLC Becker Gallagher · Cincinnati, OH · Washington, D.C. · 800.890.5001 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED (a) Should courts continue to follow the Chevron policy of deferring to administrative agency interpretations of federal statutes when the federal judiciary is not only uniquely qualified to undertake such interpretations but is also charged by the Constitution with the exclusive power to do so? (b) Where a statute is plain on its face by every canon of statutory construction, should a court under Chevron nevertheless defer to an agency’s contrary interpretation of the statute? (c) The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 provides that a television station entitled to must-carry status must be carried by cable systems on the channel on which it “broadcasts over the air.” The D.C. Circuit below determined that Congress intended by this language to refer to a station’s virtual channel – not the channel associated with the frequency on which it transmits its signal through the air but a different channel number incorporated into the broadcast channel stream. However, in order to qualify for must-carry status at all, a TV station must “operate” on the channel which it is assigned by the FCC’s table of allotments for broadcast transmissions.

  • Scripps Creates National Television Networks Business with Acquisition of ION Media
    Scripps creates national television networks business with acquisition of ION Media Berkshire Hathaway to invest in Scripps; highly accretive, transformative transaction will double Scripps EBITDA Sept. 24, 2020 CINCINNATI – The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) will buy national broadcast network ION Media for $2.65 billion, combining the business with Scripps’ Katz networks and Newsy to create a full-scale national television networks business. ION reaches more than 100 million homes through over-the-air and pay TV platforms and has consistently achieved annual revenue growth and EBITDA margins well beyond industry averages. In addition, this highly accretive acquisition will yield $500 million in synergies, most of which are contractually based, over the next six years. Berkshire Hathaway will make a $600 million preferred equity investment in Scripps to finance the transaction. Berkshire Hathaway also will receive a warrant to purchase up to 23.1 million Class A shares, at an exercise price of $13 per share. ION Media, based in West Palm Beach, Florida, operates a national television network featuring popular crime and justice procedural programming. It is being purchased from an entity controlled by Black Diamond Capital Management. The network boasts the fifth-largest average primetime audience among all cable-carried networks. ION generates its revenue by selling advertising in the national marketplace. Combining ION with Katz and Newsy, which also primarily earn revenue from national advertising, will increase Scripps’ reach into this durable ad market as it offers advertisers a larger platform on which to reach their audiences. Together, ION, Katz and Newsy, Scripps’ new national networks business, will reach nearly every American through free over-the-air broadcast, cable/satellite, over-the-top and digital distribution, with multiple advertising-supported programming streams.

    The Impact of the FCC’s TV Duopoly Rule Relaxation on Minority and Women Owned Broadcast Stations 1999-2006 By: Prof. Allen S. Hammond, IV, Santa Clara University School of Law, Founding Director, BroadBand Institute of California (BBIC) With: Prof. Barbara O’Connor, California State University, Sacramento And Prof. Tracy Westin, University of Colorado Consultants: Prof. Alexander Field, Santa Clara University And Assoc. Prof. Catherine Sandoval, Santa Clara University School of Law, Co-Director, BBIC 1 The Impact of the FCC’s TV Duopoly Rule Relaxation on Minority and Women Owned Broadcast Stations 1999-20061 Executive Summary This study was commissioned to ascertain the impact of the Television Duopoly Rule (TVDR) on minority and female ownership of television broadcast stations. Currently, the only FCC rule deemed to be favorable to minority and female broadcast ownership is the Failed Station Solicitation Rule (FSSR) of the TVDR. The TVDR originally prohibited the ownership of more than one television broadcast station in a market. In 1996, due to industry efforts to protect market gains realized through the use of local management agreements (LMAs)2, the TVDR was amended to allow the ownership of two stations in certain markets provided only one of the two was a VHF station and the overlapping signals of the two owned stations originated from separate albeit contiguous markets. In addition, the acquired station was required to be economically “failing” or “failed” or unbuilt. In an effort to afford market access to potential minority and female owners, the FCC required the owners of the station to be acquired to provide public notice of its availability for acquisition.

  • Media Sector Review July 2017
    MEDIA SECTOR REVIEW Dog Days Of Summer Already? INSIDE THIS ISSUE It seems that investors in media stocks are already affected by the “dog days of Outlook: Traditional Media 2 summer.” Media stocks have drifted after a strong first quarter performance. (See TV 3 details later in the report). We believe that the performance relates to concern over the Radio 4 general macro-economic environment, including slowing auto sales. In addition, there has been a fairly lackluster M&A environment, aside from some announced, high profile Publishing 5 mergers including Entercom and CBS Radio and Sinclair and Tribune Media. We believe Industry M&A Activity 6 that there is a heightened M&A environment emerging and will build in the second half 2017. In our view, the prospect of the FCC lifting in-market rules, which will allow a Outlook: Internet and Digital Media 7 TV broadcaster to own two of the big four Networks, and a lift in the ownership caps, Digital Media 9 both will be a catalyst for heightened M&A activity. Furthermore, in radio, there will be Advertising Tech. 10 activity related to the stations that Entercom plans to sell to complete the CBS Radio merger. We believe that this emerging M&A environment will create winners and losers Marketing Tech. 11 and, as such, it will become a stock pickers market.

  • Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Expanding the Economic and Innovation ) Opportunities of Spectrum ) ON Docket No. 12-268 Through Incentive Auctions ) REPLY COMMENTS OF ION MEDIA NETWORKS, INC. As the nation's only broadcast television network that is unaffiliated with a domestic or foreign media conglomerate, ION offers a uniquely independent perspective on the issues raised in the Notice. ION has led the television industry in developing innovative ways to deliver content not only to consumers' television sets, but also to their wireless devices through its work in support of the Dyle ™ platform (Mobile Content Venture). ION serves nearly 90 percent of households across the United States with a variety of high-quality programming-- general entertainment, children's, and lifestyle content-- that has a particularly strong following among over-the-air households, women, and minorities. In addition to ION's marquee ION Television network, which offers popular series, theatrical and made-for-television movies and specials, ION has developed two special interest television networks: Qubo, the country's only 24/7 broadcast television service offering educational and informational children's programming, and ION Life, the country's first national, over-the-air service dedicated to active living and personal growth. As the Commission considers the reallocation of spectrum to wireless broadband use, it would be wrong to conclude that consumer demand for over-the-air television services is declining. To the contrary, SNL Kagan recently reported that the percentage of over-the-air-only television households in the U.S. is forecast to increase from 13.8 percent in 2012 to 17.2 percent in 2017, as consumers increasingly endorse the value proposition of broadcast television with respect to both quality and price.
