The Senate Judiciary Committee said it plans a hearing on sports blackouts Tuesday at 10 a.m. in 226 Dirksen. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., will preside, the committee said. The hearing is on the sports blackout legislation called Furthering Access and Networks for Sports Act (S-1721), which Blumenthal introduced last November with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who’s not a Judiciary member. The FCC will vote on the sports blackout rule at the end of the month (CD Sept 11 p2).
