“The Justice Department and FCC took a strong stand for consumers and competition today. We’re pleased to see that our concerns were addressed when it comes to safeguarding competition, independent programming, and online access to programming. Millions of consumers have come to depend upon a diverse, competitive media marketplace, and we’ll be actively involved in ensuring that these merger conditions are enforced and in guarding competition in the traditional pay TV and developing online markets.”
