Religious Broadcasters Decry "A La Carte" Cable Plan

Religious broadcasters have renewed their opposition to efforts by FCC Chairman Kevin Martin to require cable TV providers to offer programming on an "a la carte" basis. In a statement, the Faith and Family Broadcasting Coalition (FFBC), which lobbies on behalf of religious broadcasters, praised commission members who balked at efforts by Martin to strengthen the ability of the FCC to regulate cable TV under a controversial rule that would kick in when cable TV is available to 70 percent of U.S. households and when 70 percent of those households have subscribed to cable systems. Martin's changes, the FFBC said, "would have had a devastating effect on religious broadcasters." It quoted Colby May, director of the American Center for Law and Justice's Washington office as saying, "A per-channel charge would dramatically limit, if not kill, the availability of religious-based programming on cable."
