PITTSBURGH, March 15, 2019 — American Cable Association President and CEO Matthew M. Polka issued the following statement:
“ACA thanks the FCC for giving MVPDs and others priority access to the $400 million appropriated to the TV Broadcast Relocation Fund for 2019. It is proper that MVPDs, full power and Class A stations are fully reimbursed for any expenses incurred during the post-Incentive Auction transition, and the FCC’s decision today is consistent with Congress’ intent.”
