Title: Revision of the Commission's Program Carriage Rules (MB Docket No. 11-131) 
Abstract: Section 616 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, directs the Commission to "establish regulations governing program carriage agreements and related practices between cable operators or other multichannel video programming distributors and video programming vendors." The Commission implemented section 616 by adopting procedures for the review of program carriage complaints as well as penalties and remedies. In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Commission seeks comment on proposed revisions to or clarifications of the program carriage rules. These changes are intended to improve procedures and to advance the goals of the program carriage statute.
