Carry More Jewish Content Amid Antisemitism, Democrats Ask MVPDs

MVPDs carrying more Jewish-themed programming can "foster community & help combat the scourge of antisemitism against Jewish people," Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., tweeted Thursday. She noted a series of letters sent this week to Comcast, Charter, Cox Communications, Altice, Dish Network, AT&T and Verizon asking about plans to increase Jewish-themed programming and seeking responses by Nov. 9. Co-signers of the letters were fellow Democratic Reps. Grace Meng of New York, Ted Deutch of Florida and California's Ted Lieu and Brad Sherman.
