CBS Objects to Aspects of FCC Comcast/TWC Information Request

CBS objected to aspects of an FCC information request connected to the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger review, in a heavily redacted response posted online Friday in docket 14-57. An FCC question asking CBS to list agreements with “announced OVD (online video distributor) services since Jan. 2011" is “vague and ambiguous,” CBS said. Other FCC questions are “vague and overly burdensome,” CBS said, such as an FCC request that CBS “describe all provisions relating to restrictions or limitations on distribution of the Company’s Video Programming.” CBS also objected to “any requirement that it produce information after the FCC reaches a decision on the applications relevant to MB Docket No. 14-57,” the filing said. The FCC didn’t comment.
