A Resolution urging the Federal Communications Commission to collaborate with the National Football League and national broadcast partners to develop a system where fan input is considered when assigning secondary market broadcasts.
This Pennsylvania House Resolution urges the Federal Communications Commission to work with the National Football League and broadcast partners to include fan feedback when deciding which games are shown in secondary markets. The bill addresses a situation where local sports teams are often replaced by distant teams in these markets, which can reduce viewership and negatively impact local businesses like bars. By requesting a system that considers fan preferences, the resolution aims to improve the viewing experience for residents and support the financial health of local establishments. It is a non-binding statement of intent rather than a law that directly changes regulations or mandates specific actions.
