Throughout this Order, we use the terms ``cable-affiliated programming'' and ``cable-affiliated programmer'' to refer to a cable programming vendor in which a cable operator has an attributable interest, as defined by the Commission's cable attribution rules. See 47 C.F.R. § 76.1000(b); see also 47 C.F.R. § 76.501, Notes 1-5.

Today's decision indicates that it is not. These rules apply to the following cable rules: horizontal ownership limits, 47 C.F.R. § 76.503; and channel occupancy limits, 47 C.F.R. § 76.504; cable/SMATV cross-ownership, 47 C.F.R. § 76.501(d); cable-telco buyout prohibition 47 C.F.R. § 76.505; and the effective competition test 47 C.F.R. § 76.905.

In the cable area, there are two strains of attribution rules, the ``general attribution standard,'' which the horizontal and vertical rules for the most

Thus, the extremely complex question of how best to define affiliation, a matter under review in other proceedings, need not be finally resolved here.187 We have decided, for present purposes, to define affiliation based on common ownership or control as defined in the notes accompanying 47 C.F.R. § 76.501. This rule has been used in both the cable television and broadcast contexts and has the advantage of being used and understood by participants in these markets. J. Subsidies 84. Background.

A television station and a cable television system are considered to be in the same area if the Grade B contour of the television station overlaps in whole or in part the service area of such system, i.e., the area within which the system is serving subscribers. See 47 C.F.R. ( 76.501(a). Answer the following questions for each such relationship: 1. Has the family member who is not included as an interest holder in the assignee been involved in negotiations with the licensee/permittee for the acquisition of any of the station(s) to be assigned?

See, e.g., Review of the Commission's Cable Attribution Rules, CS Dockets No. 98-82 and 96-85, FCC 99-288, at ¶ 3 (rel. Oct. 20, 1999). Similarly, convertible interests are not deemed attributable until converted. See, e.g., 47 C.F.R. § 76.501, Note 2(h). AOL's 2,669,633 shares of preference stock would automatically convert to GMH stock on June 24, 2002. The exact conversion rate in June 2002 would be determined by the price of GMH stock at that time. See GM, SEC 8-K, Appendix D at Section 6. AOL also can elect to convert its shares prior to that date. Based on

Conclusion 37 Ginsburg, Chief Judge: Before the court are five consolidated petitions to review the Federal Communications Commission's 1998 decision not to repeal or to modify the national television station ownership rule, 47 C.F.R. § 73.3555(e), and the cable/broadcast cross-ownership rule, 47 C.F.R. § 76.501(a). Petitioners challenge the decision as a violation of both the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. § 551 et seq., and § 202(h) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56. They also contend that both rules violate the First Amendment to the Constitu-tion of the United States. The network petitioners -- Fox Television Stations,

AT&T Broadband owns 6 SMATV systems (see list attached as Appendix 10), but none of these owned entities will create a cross-ownership issue for the merged entity. Appendix 11 sets forth a list of Comcast SMATV systems. Comcast owns one SMATV system in the Hartford,

  • NAB, as a result, broadcasters will not "fare as well as they might if they had two rival DBS companies with which to negotiate."318 Apparently, the NAB is concerned that local broadcasters will not be able to extract as high a royalty fee for retransmission of local broadcast stations from a merged EchoStar and Hughes entity, 315 47 C.F.R. § 76.501(a). 316 Fox Television Stations, Inc. at *24. 317 NAB Petition at 58. 318 Id. 129 as opposed to negotiating with them separately. NAB's concern, however, is not a genuine competitive marketplace consideration.

  • Competition Report, ¶156. See also 47 C.F.R. § 76.1001. 254 Vivendi's investment in EchoStar apparently would fall within the purview of the Commission's provisions designed to control the anti-competitive effects of vertical integration in the cable industry. These rules attribute all voting and nonvoting equity interests, including insulated limited partnership interests, of 5% or more. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 76.1000; 76.501, Notes 1-5. 71 162. The Applicants' disclosures to the Commission regarding the Vivendi Deal also raise serious character questions. The Vivendi Deal apparently was the subject of ongoing discussions and negotiations between and among the Applicants and Vivendi long before the Application was filed with the Commission.255 The Applicants' representations to the contrary -- including specifically that they have "no
