Cable Television: A Guide to Federal Regulations.
Rivkin, Steven R.
The federal laws and regulations that presently apply to cable television are comprehensively discussed in this lengthy report. The report has been designed as a guide and reference book for state and local officials, cable operators, and citizen groups. It presents a complete discussion of the 1972 Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Report and Order on cable television. The six major categories of the FCC's rules are reviewed and cross-referenced with various state and local experiences and laws. The categories are: Carriage of Broadcast Television Signals; Copyright and Program Exclusivity, Cablecasting and Channel Capacity; the Role of State and Local Authorities; Technical Standards; and Operating Requirements and Related Matters. A compendium of relevant documents, including the text of the 1972 Report and Order, make up the remainder of the report. (MC)
