WTA Files Comments for FCC’s Annual Video Competition Report
On October 10th, WTA filed Comments in the FCC Media Bureau’s Annual Video Competition Report proceeding. WTA expressed its concern that small MVPDs’ inability to acquire programming at reasonable prices has made offering video services a losing proposition where companies either lose money, or at best, break even. WTA asserted that without substantial policy changes, more MVPDs would be forced out of the video marketplace. WTA also called for protections for small MVPDs as broadcasters transition to ATSC 3.0 as a forced transition would require unsustainable investment.
