  • Affecting Programmer-Distributor Negotiations: Issues for Congress
    Order Code RL34078 Retransmission Consent and Other Federal Rules Affecting Programmer-Distributor Negotiations: Issues for Congress July 9, 2007 Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Industrial Organization and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Retransmission Consent and Other Federal Rules Affecting Programmer-Distributor Negotiations: Issues for Congress 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.

INTRODUCTION Among the most popular ways to watch television over the Internet is a Web site called Hulu, a joint venture among NBC, ABC, Fox, and others.

Miro permits anyone to broadcast his or her own "channel" online in high-definition, and now includes thousands of channels, from PBS and the Onion News Network to the channels of any individual creator.'
