BTNC Continues Push for Waiver on DBS Ads Ban Rule

September 18, 2017 |Satellite

Black TV News Channel is continuing to advocate for waiver of the requirement that programming carried on direct broadcast satellite noncommercial reserved channels be commercial-free. In an FCC docket 14-77 filing Friday, BTNC recapped meetings in July and August with Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and an aide to Chairman Ajit Pai to discuss its request -- dating back a decade (see 0710300131) -- for a three-year waiver.
