Book Description
One hundred fifteen million U.S. households watch television. Approximately 88% of those households subscribe to a service that carries the retransmitted signals of broadcast stations over fiber optic cables, telephone lines, or through a satellite dish on the premises. Such services, known as multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs") retransmit broadcast television signals pursuant to a regulatory framework constructed by Congress and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The remaining households generally use an individual antenna that receives broadcast signals directly over the air from a television station. Important parts of the regulatory framework, contained in the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA, P.L. 111-175), are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014. Without congressional action, 1.5 million satellite television households, mainly in rural areas, are likely to lose access to distant network broadcast signals after that date. In addition, the FCC's prohibition on joint retransmission consent negotiations between two separately owned top-four stations within the same market would become moot, and the overall risk of consumers losing access to broadcast television stations during a negotiations impasse would increase. On July 22, 2014, the House passed H.R. 4572, the STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014. H.R. 4572 would provide a five-year extension of expiring provisions. It also would broaden the FCC's current limitations on separately owned broadcasters' ability to jointly enter retransmission consent negotiations and immediately repeal the FCC's ban on integrating the security and navigation functions of cable set-top boxes. In addition, it would delay the FCC's enforcement of recently enacted rules restricting joint sales agreements among broadcasters and eliminate FCC rules barring satellite and cable operators from deleting broadcasters' programming or changing their channel assignments during certain periods. On June 26, 2014, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved S. 2454, the Satellite Television Access Reauthorization Act of 2014. On September 17, 2014, the Senate Commerce Committee approved S. 2799, the Satellite Television Access and Viewer Rights Act (STAVRA). Similar to H.R. 4572, both S. 2454 and S. 2799 would provide a five-year extension of expiring provisions. In addition, S. 2799, similar to H.R. 4572, would broaden the FCC's current limitations on separately owned broadcasters' ability to enter joint negotiations concerning retransmission consent and repeal the FCC's ban on integrating the security and navigation functions of cable set-top boxes. S. 2799 would direct the FCC to develop a streamlined process for small cable operators to file "effective competition" petitions and, for the purpose of modifying the local market of a television station, consider whether doing so would promote consumers' access to in-state programming. S. 2799 would also extend the market modification process to satellite operators, and direct the FCC to post information about the market modification process on its website. On November 19, 2014, the House passed H.R. 5728, which would delay the repeal of the integration ban until one year after the law's enactment, and brings the House version of STELA closer to its counterparts in the Senate. Meanwhile, several bills are pending in Congress to address concerns about "orphan counties" in which consumers may not be able to receive broadcast stations that provide news, sports, and public affairs programming of interest in their state. Both H.R. 4572 and S. 2799 direct the FCC to issue a report to Congress to analyze alternatives to its current definition of local television markets.

Book Description
Television Market Modification - Statutory Implementation (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Television Market Modification - Statutory Implementation (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Commission adopts satellite television market modification rules to implement section 102 of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act Reauthorization (STELAR) Act of 2014. The STELAR gives the Commission authority to modify a commercial television broadcast station's local television market for purposes of satellite carriage rights. In this document, the Commission revises the current cable market modification rule to apply also to satellite carriage, while adding provisions to address the unique nature of satellite television service. The document also makes conforming and other minor changes to the cable market modification rules.

Book Description
Digital Low Power Television, Television Translator, and Television Booster Stations - Rules for Digital Class A Television Stations (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Digital Low Power Television, Television Translator, and Television Booster Stations - Rules for Digital Class A Television Stations (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In the Second Report and Order, the Commission takes steps to resolve the remaining issues in this proceeding in order to allow a timely and successful completion of the low power television digital transition. Although Congress established a hard deadline of June 12, 2009 for full power stations to cease analog operations and begin operating only in digital, the statutory deadline did not apply to low power television stations. Therefore, while all full power television stations have ceased over-the-air analog broadcasting, many low power television stations are continuing to transmit analog signals.

Book Description
Digital Television Distributed Transmission System Technologies (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Digital Television Distributed Transmission System Technologies (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Commission adopts rules for the use of distributed transmission system ("DTS") technologies in the digital television ("DTV") service. The rules adopted in this Report and Order will allow DTV station licensees and permittees to use DTS technologies where feasible in place of a single transmitter to provide service as authorized. We find that these rules will improve some DTV stations' ability to serve more of their viewers within their service areas. For example, we expect that DTS will be especially useful in mountainous areas where single transmitters have been unable to reach viewers in valleys or those blocked by elevated terrain. Furthermore, DTS may be a useful tool for stations to prevent some loss of service to existing analog viewers resulting from changes to the station's service area in the transition to digital service. These rules will apply to post-transition operations (i.e., operations after February 17, 2009). DTS proposals related to pre-transition operations will continue to be evaluated under the Commission's interim policy.

Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this document, the Commission modifies its satellite television "significantly viewed" rules to implement Section 203 of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA). Section 203 of the STELA amends Section 340 of the Communications Act, which gives satellite carriers the authority to offer out-of-market but "significantly viewed" broadcast television network stations as part of their local service to subscribers. The STELA requires the Commission to promulgate final rules in this proceeding on or before November 24, 2010.
