Senate Satellite Hearing Details Announced
The Senate Commerce Communications, Technology, and the Internet Subcommittee Wednesday will wade into the debate over how to reauthorize sections of the Satellite Home Viewer Act slated to expire Dec. 31. The House and Senate Judiciary committees passed their versions of the legislation last month and the House Energy and Commerce Communications Subcommittee approved its bill in June. The Judiciary and Commerce committees share jurisdiction over the statute, which permits satellite systems to retransmit local and distant television signals.
The Senate Commerce Committee announced its witness line-up on Monday:
• DirecTV Senior Vice President Robert Gabrielli
• Dish Network Executive Vice President Stanton Dodge
• Meredith Corporation President Paul Karpowicz
• West Virginia Public Broadcasting Technology Director Bill Acker
