Few Senators Access Video-Access Hearing

[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Players outnumbered the audience 3-1 at Tuesday afternoon's Senate Commerce Committee hearing. Just Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Sen Byron Dorgan (D - ND) heard industry players argue for and against tiering, importing out-of-market broadcast signals, and placing conditions on the sale of bankrupt cable operator Adelphia to Time Warner and Comcast. The senators who didn't attend will get to ask questions of the witnesses in writing.
