SOURCES: WYDEN FLOATING CABLE-CONTENT BILL
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is looking for a Republican co-sponsor, preferably one with a seat on the Commerce Committee, for a cable-television-content bill designed to give consumers more choice in selecting their programming lineups. Wyden’s bill would pressure cable operators to ensure that consumers had at least three options: a family tier with programming suitable for children, programming tiers covered by broadcast-indecency rules, or channels provided on an a la carte basis.
