"LEAVE NO VIEWER BEHIND"
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
The Benton Foundation filed comments at the FCC calling on the Commission to require all TV stations to air public service announcements (PSAs) on the transition to digital-only television broadcasting. "The Commission must remain vigilant in enforcing rules so that consumers are aware of their rights and protected from unscrupulous vendors, access by people with disabilities is ensured, and the transition has a positive impact on consumers," Benton wrote in its filing. Its comments puts Benton on a collision course with the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), which on the same day submitted comments demanding that the FCC refrain from regulating the industry on the DTV transition.
