Title: ●Reporting Requirements for Commercial Television Broadcast Station Blackouts, MB Docket No 23-427 
Abstract:

In this proceeding, the Commission proposes a reporting framework for TV station blackouts occurring on video service platforms offered by cable operators, satellite TV providers, and other multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs).  The proposed reporting framework would require MVPDs to publicly report to the Commission the beginning and end of any qualifying blackout of a commercial broadcast television station, or stations, and disclose either publicly or confidentially the number of subscribers affected by the blackout.
