Christian Coalition Trumpets Multicasting

The Christian Coalition has put out an action alert to its members urging them to push Congress to require cable and other multichannel video providers to carry all of a broadcaster's free multicast digital channels. They are working to modify House and Senate DTV transition bills now winding their way through Congress. Neither currently mandates cable carriage of DTV signals, though a planned third Senate DTV bill may address that issue.
