An effort by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revise retransmission consent rules could help cable and satellite television companies, Paul Gallant of MF Global wrote. "We think the mere opening of this rulemaking should help cable and satellite operators like Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cablevision, Charter, DirecTV, and Dish by exerting some indirect pressure on broadcasters to moderate their license fee requests in upcoming retrans negotiations."
