NAB Cites Victories in 'White Area' Report

Coverage Type 

[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The National Association of Broadcasters loves the conclusions of the Copyright Office that basically concurs with the NAB that 1) the current FCC standard for determining the quality of a signal is best, 2) that no household should get a distant signal if it can already receive an adequate local signal, 3) that no new model to predict digital signal strength should be adopted before more FCC testing, 4) that the money DBS operators pay for the imported signal is not "fair market value," 5) that syndicated exclusivity should apply to all distant signals, 6) and that DBS companies should not have to pay separate copyright fees for importing local stations into local markets.
