Udall To FCC: Local TV Access For All
In a letter Monday, Colorado Senator Mark Udall Pressed the FCC to review the feasibility of DirecTV’s offering the residents of Mesa and Montrose counties access to local television broadcasts. The Grand Junction-Montrose market is one of a handful in the country where DirecTV doesn’t air local media broadcasts.
Southwest Colorado’s plea for Denver TV broadcasts is getting more attention in Washington. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) and FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel met Wednesday in Durango to discuss possible solutions to the impasse that has blocked many local residents from receiving Denver TV news channels and, not incidentally, Denver Broncos football games.
