- Re: Basic cable TV - channels
So, if a local broadcast channel is carried by a retransmission consent
contract, it's not required to be in basic cable?
Huh.

His question concerns a right of subscribers to have certain channels in a
basic cable subscription under federal law. Perhaps you should reread it.

even read his question?
- Re: Basic cable TV - channels
Wrong, wrong, wrong. To maintain a license, a broadcaster had to demonstrate
some sort of public or community use, I cannot remember the term. They
did this with news shows and public affairs shows. For some reason, making
free time available to a religious broadcaster was considered to be public
use.

There is no "religious requirement" in cable carriage regulations.
The ION stations would fall under the normal must-carry rules for
local stations. Here in the Bay Area, the ION O&O is KKPX.
WGN wouldn't be in a locals-only cable package anywhere except Chicago.

- Re: Basic cable TV - channels
I have no idea. You are suggesting that federal law established a RIGHT
to basic cable? Get outta here.
As we've discussed many, many, many, many times, the Telecom Act of 1996
changed everything. This is like, what, the 50th time you've asked?
1) Old FCC "must carry" regulation was eliminated in the new law.
- Basic cable TV - channels
Under the federal laws, what channels are the cable companies required
in include in basic cable?
I think it's all four major networks, at least one PBS channel, CSPAN,
and the channel(s) that show city council meetings. I'd like to know
what the other rules are.
I have basic cable in LA which means about 30 channels. There are

The number of poor will always exceed the resources available to
alleviate their suffering. In the cases of failed countries or
continents, one could direct half the annual GDP at 'aiding' them, and
within 20 years, they would be as bad off as they are now, since the
population in those areas would balloon even more. (See Haiti.) I am
