Lawmaker Introduces 'Cable Antidiscrimination' Bill to Force Resolution of Televised-Football Issue

By Jim Siegel, Columbus Dispatch, 11/01/2007

A Cincinnati Republican says he’s tired of hearing from frustrated television watchers who can’t see their favorite Ohio sports teams because of disputes between cable operators and programmers — so he’s doing something about it.

Rep. Lou Blessing, joined by 21 co-sponsors, has introduced what he’s calling the “Cable Antidiscrimination and Dispute Resolution Act of 2007.” It would require mandatory third-party negotiations when the two sides, such as Time Warner Cable and the Big Ten Network, can’t come to an agreement.

Time Warner subscribers will miss the Ohio State-Wisconsin football game this Saturday, the fourth Ohio State game this year broadcast exclusively on the Big Ten Network.
