It's Wait and See for NRB on Tiering


[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Frank Wright, president of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) which represents 1,400 religious broadcasters (1,400?), says he still has reservations about cable's proposed "family tier." “The [National Cable & Telecommunications Association] proposal is a positive gesture," he said, "but it remains only a gesture until more details are forthcoming. For example, who will determine the composition of the family tier, how much will it cost, can families add other options like sports? If the family tier is not a product people actually want to buy," said Wright, "then this proposal amounts to nothing more than a diversionary tactic by the cable industry to avoid dealing with their growing indecency problem.”
