FCC's February Meeting Agenda Includes NOI on Programming Diversity

FCC commissioners will look at a notice of inquiry at their February meeting seeking comment on programming diversity issues "and the principal obstacles that independent programmers face" in being carried on video distribution platforms, the FCC said Thursday. Commissioner Mignon Clyburn had said the NOI was in the works earlier this month at the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council's broadband conference (see 1601210031). The meeting is scheduled for Feb. 18.
