issue? 9 What is the source of the
Commission’s authority in this area, if
any?
D. Possible Regulatory Tools for
Addressing Market Obstacles Faced by
Independent Programmers
22. What role, if any, should the
Commission play in addressing any
obstacles that prevent greater access by
consumers to sources of independent
and diverse programming? Are there
other entities—including other agencies,
Congress or private entities—that could
play a role in addressing these
obstacles? Can the marketplace
evolution toward greater competition
and choice among distribution
platforms be expected to ease any
obstacles, or may it exacerbate them in
some respects? Are the Commission’s
existing regulatory tools adequate to
address any obstacles? Are there actions
that we could recommend that others
explore in order to promote
programming diversity? Is there a role
for other federal agencies in this review?
Are there concerns that would be
appropriate to refer to the Department of
Justice and/or the Federal Trade
Commission? 10 We seek comment on
any regulatory or other approaches the
Commission should take to alleviate
obstacles to the distribution of
independent and diverse programming.
23. We also seek comment on the
Commission’s legal authority to
alleviate any obstacles. Specifically, we
seek comment on whether section 257
of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (Act), provides the
Commission with authority to impose
regulations aimed at improving
programming diversity. In particular, we
seek comment on section 257(b), which
directs the Commission to promote the
policies and purposes of the Act
favoring diversity of media voices,
vigorous economic competition,
technological advancement, and
promotion of the public interest,
convenience, and necessity.11 We also
request input on whether Section 616(a)
of the Act provides the Commission
with the authority to take action with
respect to program carriage practices
that may have an adverse impact on
independent programmers. Specifically,
we invite comment on section 616(a)’s
mandate that the Commission establish
regulations governing program carriage
agreements and related practices

U.S.C. 533(e).
note that the Commission acts in a manner
that is both complementary to the work of the
antitrust agencies and supported by their
application of antitrust laws. See generally 47
U.S.C. 152(b).

the Commission or others have to
alleviate obstacles to the distribution of
independent and diverse programming?
