MVPD Definition NPRM Deadlines Extended by Two Weeks

The FCC Media Bureau extended by two weeks the deadlines for comments on its NPRM on expanding the definition of a multichannel video programming distributor to include some streaming video services, it said in a public notice Tuesday. Comments are now due March 3, replies March 18, the notice said. The extension follows requests last week for a 30-day extension from NAB and Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (see 1502060037). “Although the parties seek a 30-day extension, we believe that a two-week extension will give the public enough time to respond to the NPRM,” the PN said.
