Cable TV: More PBS channels in more homes
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007
Multichannel News covers The Independent Show, a conference of smaller cable operators:
• Public TV’s additional “multicast” channels, available in many communities, should appear in more cable households, under a tentative deal between the American Cable Association (ACA) and public TV stations.
• Changes to distant-channel rules, under the proposed Television Freedom Act of 2007, win the ACA’s support. The bill would allow cable and satellite TV companies to carry local TV stations from adjacent markets.
• “Downloadable security” (presumed successor to the CableCARD) has a deployment schedule that overlaps with the February 17, 2009, shutdown of analog TV broadcasts.
