Sunshine Act Notices, 76732 [2010-30736]

Download as PDF erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES 76732 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 236 / Thursday, December 9, 2010 / Notices provide data associated with the approach recommended, or to direct the Commission to any outside data sources where such specific data may be available. 8. For the Section 304(2) analysis, the Bureau proposes to use the Longley-Rice methodology to estimate access to broadcast programming over-the-air and data from the Annual Report of Cable Television Systems, FCC Form 325, to estimate access to broadcast programming carried by some, but not all, cable systems. The Bureau requests that all MVPDs provide information on the broadcast stations they carry on their systems and whether they carry the same broadcast stations throughout the DMA, county or other geographic area. The Bureau seeks comment on the proposed sources of data for estimating over-the-air and MVPD access to broadcast programming and whether there are other sources of data that would provide more reliable estimates. The Bureau also seeks comment on the appropriate methodology for combining broadcast and MVPD data that may be collected from different sources using different geographic bases and the most appropriate way to aggregate data from broadcast, cable, DBS, and other MVPDs. Commenters are requested to provide relevant data or data sources associated with the methodology they recommend. 9. The Bureau seeks comment on whether and how to include information for the United States Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam in this report. The Bureau also requests that MVPDs provide data to measure the extent of access to in-state broadcast programming in these three geographic areas. 10. Section 304(3): Section 304(3) requires the Commission to consider alternatives to the use of DMAs to define local markets that would provide more consumers with in-state broadcast programming. DMAs are used in the planning and purchase of television advertising and are also referenced in FCC regulations regarding the carriage of broadcast television stations on cable and DBS systems and in the media ownership rules. As such, redefining local markets with alternative geographic areas would likely affect viewers, the advertising market, the number of stations carried by MVPDs, and ownership of stations. The Bureau seeks comment on alternatives to the use of DMAs and the effects of alternatives on viewers, advertising markets, number of stations carried by MVPDs, ownership of stations, network affiliation agreements, and areas of exclusivity.
