The FCC does not have the authority to overturn this; at best they could
make
recommendations to Congress...
0r, at worst....

Interesting. Genachowski's expressed view on broadcasters in the past has
been that his kids don't know about them because they always watch cable.
And he also doesn't mind having cable costs included as part of the
monthly rent in apartment complexes. And he doesn't mind reducing the
spectrum available to broadcasters, which in turn reduces the amount of
programming they can ever hope to get on any local cable system. I would
therefore conclude that retrans consent is in jeopardy.
Not from the FCC. It would require an Act of Congress to change this, as
the terms are clearly defined in the 1992 Cable Act. > Regards
