FCC Mandates Reporting of Broadcast Blackouts Over 24 Hours for Cable and Satellite TV Operators, Exempting YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV
Jan 4, 2025, 09:12 PM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a new order mandating that cable and satellite TV operators report broadcast station blackouts lasting over 24 hours. This decision is part of an effort to address issues arising from retransmission consent negotiations. Notably, the order exempts streaming services such as YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV from this reporting requirement. The FCC's move has been met with mixed reactions, particularly from local TV stations, which may be adversely affected by the new regulations. The agency has indicated that the applicability of retransmission consent to these streaming platforms remains an unresolved issue, prompting calls for new legislation from Congress.
