The Federal Communications Commission is planning to open up a proceeding on retransmission consent negotiation rules, governing how broadcasters and cable companies determine value for signal clearances. Bill Lake, the FCC’s media bureau chief, will deliver the news Wednesday (Dec. 8) during a lunch at the Media Institute, the FCC confirmed.

There is no timetable for when the FCC could put the notice of proposed rule making on its agenda. It has previously avoided taking on the retransmission consent rules established by Congress in the 1992 Cable Act.
