of the potential for a truly national fourth market. Allowed to develop indiscriminately, a new system based on elimination of exclusivity and unlimited importation of distant signals would create enormous obstacles for the realization of the potential of independent television. It is particularly ironic that the cable provisions of the present Copyright Act, which so disproportionately affect independent television stations, were adopted as the result of an agreement to which neither INTV nor any broadcaster was a party. The basic cable provisions were hammered out in an agreement between MPAA and NCTA. Yet, independent television. stations are the ones most affected by those provisions. therefore, urge you to consider the plight of the independent station and amend the cable provisions of the Copyright Act in a manner that would permit these stations to grow and provide additional diversity to the American television industry.
