[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: Ben Grossman]
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin will look into a proposed exclusive deal between Major League Baseball (MLB) and DirecTV for an out-of-market baseball package, according to a letter he sent to Sen John Kerry (D-MA), who had expressed concerns with the potential deal to the FCC. Chairman Martin said the FCC “contacted the parties and requested additional information about their proposed arrangement. Once we have this information, we will report to you on the deal's implications for consumers and any recommended changes to the law to ameliorate any harms to consumers."
