Minority Groups Oppose A La Carte

[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]

"According to overwhelming evidence on the public record," wrote the groups "such 'pay-per-channel' regulations would likely result in price hikes for consumers while decimating minority and other new cable programmers who are now able to air programming focused on African-American and Hispanic audiences."
