In a letter addressed to Senators Rockefeller and Thune, the CBA with 49 state broadcast associations made it clear that we oppose the proposed “Local Choice” legislation.
The letter points to the discriminatory nature of the legislation, singling out free, over-the-air, local television for “a la carte” treatment, while ignoring the majority of specialty cable channels that demand extremely high retransmission rates with a fraction of the audience.
The entire letter can be read here.
The CBA is managed by a thirteen-member Board of Directors and a President/CEO. The board consists of twelve active broadcasters and an associate member representative. Board Members are elected for three year terms by the broadcast members. A Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary Treasurer make up the officers of the board and are elected from the sitting board. The mission of the CBA is to continuously build a stronger broadcast industry.
