COX COMMUNICATIONS CAN PUT LEASED-ACCESS CHANNELS ON DIGITAL TIER
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The Federal Communications Commission concluded that Cox Communications can place the content of leased-access programmer RETV (Real Estate TV) on its digital tier. That's according to Charlie Stogner, president of the Leased Access Programmers Association, who said he received an e-mail to that effect from the FCC Thursday. Stogner had been pushing the FCC for a response to the complaint, which was filed in March of last year, but it was not the response he was looking for. He said he wants the commission to reconsider the decision. According to a copy of the order, the FCC concluded that because Cox's New Orleans system has more than 50% digital subscribership, it does not violate the leased-access rules.
