The National Association of Broadcasters has doubled down on its assertion that must carry-retransmission consent regime and program exclusivity rules must be applied to over-the-top video providers. That came in reply comments to the Federal Communications Commission's inquiry into how it should interpret the terms MVPD and channel in the program access complaint by over-the-top provider Sky Angel. At issue is whether over-the-top video providers that ride the transmission path of others are subject to the same program carriage rules and obligations as traditional MVPDs who provide programming over their own transmission paths.
