[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin’s plan to impose wholesale a la carte mandates on the cable industry continues to bleed Republican support as key U.S. lawmakers from Tennessee recently voiced strong objections. The latest attack on Martin’s plan came Feb. 12 in a letter from three powerful Tennessee Republicans on Capitol Hill: Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker as well as Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who complained that Martin’s untested scheme could have a “devastating impact” on parts of Tennessee’s cable programming community.
