RTNDA requests meeting with NFL commissioner

By Stephen Warley 

Lost Remote has frequently posted about the extremely restrictive (and sometimes zany) NFL guidelines for local coverage of games. Yesterday RTNDA Executive Director Barbara Cochran sent a letter to Roger Goodell requesting a meeting to discuss local coverage guidelines. Some of the issues RTNDA would like to cover include limitations on use of video and audio online, requiring photojournalists to wear the logos of NFL sponsors during games, and the exclusion of regional cable news channels from covering games. Now’s our chance to air our grievances. What other issues should RTNDA bring up with Goodell? You can also e-mail your thoughts to rtnda@rtnda.org.
