PITTSBURGH, Jan. 30, 2020 – ACA Connects President and CEO Matthew M. Polka issued the following statement applauding the FCC for allowing cable operators to use email to transmit required notices to TV stations:
“ACA Connects applauds the FCC for adopting a Report and Order that will allow cable operators to send required notices to broadcasters by email rather than certified mail. This transition to email delivery will reduce administrative burdens and environmental waste while ensuring that notices are still timely received. Today’s action is the latest in a series of FCC efforts to streamline and modernize its media regulations, and we look forward to working with the FCC on further reforms.”
