ATVA Statement on Local Choice
Following the removal of Local Choice from the Satellite Television Access and Viewer Rights Act (STAVRA), the American Television Alliance issued the following statement:
“Local Choice remains a simple and elegant solution to fix our broken system of retransmission consent and we look forward to working with Ranking Member Thune and the other members of the Senate Commerce Committee next year to make it law. We continue to support the bipartisan STAVRA bill put forth by Chairman Rockefeller and Ranking Member Thune and we believe it includes several important reforms that will provide relief for consumers around the country. We encourage the rest of the Committee to pass STAVRA so we can begin the long overdue process of updating our TV rules to the 21st Century.”
