Bounce TV Criticizes Retransmission Reforms

Bounce TV says that the retransmission consent changes being considered in a Senate Commerce Committee satellite reauthorization bill will do "serious harm" to many affiliates that helped launch Bounce on their multicast channels. The National Association of Broadcasters, which is fighting hard against the retrans proposals, has pointed to Bounce and its use of multicast channels to deliver diverse programming as one of the reasons broadcasters should hold on to spectrum rather than give it up at auction.
