Local Choice Sure Isn't the Logical Choice

[Commentary] The latest retransmission reform plan advocating an a la carte system of payment by cable subscribers for broadcast channels – Local Choice -- would harm broadcasters and I'm not sure it benefits anybody other than some small cable operators.

A better solution is for Congress to pass a law saying that if pay TV operators and broadcasters cannot agree on a retransmission fee, the matter would be settled by so-called pendulum arbitration -- just like in baseball.
