The FCC said in its Revision of the Commission's Program Access Rules: In this Report and Order, we decline to extend the exclusive contract prohibition section of the program access rules beyond its October 5, 2012 sunset date.This prohibition generally bans exclusive contracts for satellite cable programming or satellite broadcast programming between any cable operator and any cable-affiliated programming vendor in areas served by a cable operator. The prohibition applies only to programming that is delivered via satellite; it does not apply to programming delivered via terrestrial facilities. Congress directed the Commission to adopt this prohibition in 1992 when cable operators served more than 95 percent of all multichannel video subscribers and were affiliated with over half of all national cable networks.
