ACA: Retransmission Negotiations Threaten Digital Transition

The American Cable Association is trying to convince legislators that contentious retransmission consent negotiations could wreak havoc with the transition to digital. In a letter to the chairman and ranking members of the House Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee in advance of a Tuesday hearing on the DTV transition, the American Cable Association asked them not to "overlook" the issue, which ACA said was broadcasters who might "force operators to drop signals in the months before and after the digital transition, resulting in additional transition related confusion."
