NOT. IT'S A STATUTORY OBLIGATION.

Powell, Michael K. - Chair
KEVIN OBLIQUELY TOUCHED ON THIS, THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE WAY THE SUPREME COURT INTERPRETS
|
| 00:30:16 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
THE CONSTITUTION WHICH
|
| 00:30:17 |
Powell, Michael K. - Chair
CREATES THE DIFFICULTY. YOU KNOW, THE SUPREME COURT SAID DATING BACK A LONG TIME AGO THAT SOMEHOW BROADCAST IS DIFFERENT, THAT SOMEHOW THESE THINGS...
|
| 00:31:40 |
Slen, Peter - Host
I THINK THAT THE CHALLENGE FOR BROADCASTERS IN TODAY'S MULTICHANNEL WORLD AND THE DISADVANTAGE THAT THEY'RE PLACED IN, I
|
| 00:31:47 |
Martin, Kevin J. - Chairman
THINK, I THINK IT IS, I THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM. I DO THINKER IT'D BE HELPFUL IF THE COURT CLARIFIED IT, BUT I ALSO THINK THERE NEEDS -- WE NEED TO...

| 00:32:16 |
Slen, Peter - Host
CONTENT COMING
|
| 00:32:17 |
Martin, Kevin J. - Chairman
IN AND HOW MUCH THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK DIFFERENT CHANNELS THEY WANT, AND I THINK THE COMMISSION SHOULD BE CONCERNED...
|
| 00:32:39 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
BE ABLE TO
|
| 00:32:41 |
Hundt, Reed E. - Chairman
BROADCAST CONTENT SUCH AS "MAD MEN" OR "ENTOURAGE" OR ANY HBO SERIES, AND I JUST WONDER IF YOU'VE PRECLEARED THAT WITH THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT. [LAUGHTER]...
|
| 00:33:09 |
Powell, Michael K. - Chair
IT LIVES ABOVE, YOU KNOW, ANY ONE GROUP'S PREFERENCE FOR HOW IT SHOULD BE. THE PROBLEM HERE IS NOT HOW FAR THE RULE IS -- >> Guest: YOU'VE SAID THIS...
|
| 00:33:23 |
Hundt, Reed E. - Chairman
CLEAR. YOU'VE BEEN A FIRST AMENDMENT -- ALMOST AN ABSOLUTIST FOR 20 YEARS AT LEAST. >> Guest: I THINK SO. [LAUGHTER] DISWHRS CHAIRMAN HUNDT, WHAT WAS...
|
| 00:33:37 |
Powell, Michael K. - Chair
DIFFERENTLY? >> Guest: SO I HAD TO ANSWER IT IN THE REALTIME AS MY FRIENDS DID. WHEN I GOT THERE, THERE WAS A MILLION DOLLAR FINE PENDING AGAINST HOWARD
|
| 00:33:45 |
Hundt, Reed E. - Chairman
STERN. NOW, GIVEN MY AGE, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WAS IN THE RADIO ERA. [LAUGHTER] BUT IT WAS A MILLION DOLLAR FINE, AND SO I CALLED UP MEL CARPAL...
|
| 00:36:26 |
Martin, Kevin J. - Chairman
CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GETTING PLACED ON BROADCAST BECAUSE THEY HAVE CERTAIN BENEFITS THAT THEY GET AS A RESULT OF THAT...
|
| 00:37:33 |
Slen, Peter - Host
AT THIS POINT LIKELY TO GO THROUGH, I GUESS IT'S FAIR TO SAY. BUT YOU SURPRISED A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS WORLD WITH YOUR OPPOSITION...
|
| 00:37:55 |
Martin, Kevin J. - Chairman
THEIR COMPETITORS AND THE POWER THAT A CABLE OPERATOR MIGHT END UP HAVING TO FAVOR CERTAIN KIND OF CONTENT OVER OTHERS. CERTAINLY, FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK...

| 00:38:45 |
Unidentified Speaker, -
FCC, SO I GUESS I'M OLD SCHOOL
|
| 00:38:47 |
Hundt, Reed E. - Chairman
ON THIS. VERTICAL MERGERS DON'T POSE THE KINDS OF RISKS TO COMPETITION THAT CAN BE PRESENTED IN THE SOME HORIZONTAL MERGERS. THIS IS A VERTICAL MERGER....
|
| 00:39:13 |
Martin, Kevin J. - Chairman
VERTICAL MERGER THAT AT THE TIME YOU SAID WAS UNTHINKABLE. >> Guest: ACTUALLY, I'M SO GLAD YOU RAISED THAT. IT WAS DESCRIBED THAT WAY BY PEOPLE WHO WANTED...
|
| 00:39:23 |
Hundt, Reed E. - Chairman
VERTICAL MERGERS, BUT IN MY VERY POORLY-READ BUT WELL-DELIVERED SPEECH AT BROOK, I EXPLAINED ALL THE -- BROOKINGS, I EXPLAINED THE DIMENSIONS, AND...
|
| 00:40:21 |
Schatz, Amy - Correspondent
BUT AT THE SAME TIME IF A ROQUE TV STATION WANT -- LOCAL TV STATION WANTED TO BUY A NEWSPAPER, THEY PROBABLY COULDN'T. DO YOU THINK TODAY'S MEDIA ...

Unidentified Speaker, -
EVERY SECTOR
|
| 00:40:54 |
Powell, Michael K. - Chair
OF COMMUNICATION REGULATION, THERE IS NO MORE INCOHERENT COLLECTION OF RULES THAN THE MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULES. THEY ARE ROOTED IN THIS A MARKET THAT...
