[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Kent Gibbons]
Brian Roberts of Comcast, Glenn Britt of Time Warner Cable, Tom Rutledge of Cablevision Systems and Michael Willner of Insight were in Washington Thursday to lobby at the Federal Communications Commission, Capitol Hill and the White House, stating cable’s case at a time when FCC Chairman Kevin Martin wants to clamp new regulations on the industry. Programmers that took part include A&E Networks’ Abbe Raven, Fox Cable Networks’ Tony Vinciquerra and Decker Anstrom, the former NCTA chief who’s president of Landmark Communications. Among other things, the board members from operator and programmer companies are “showing a unified front that this is the highest priority for [National Cable & Telecommunications Association] and, from a policy standpoint, for the industry right now.”
