H.R. 4572, The STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014 and S. 2799, The Satellite Television Access and Viewer Rights Act (STAVRA) of 2014 -- WTA lobbied in support of several provisions within these pieces of legislation that would make changes to current video law that currently disadvantage small RLECs and other MVPDs that provide video services to rural customers. The association's focus has been on changes to the current retransmission consent and pricing arrangements, better access for small MVPDs to content, elimination of forced-tying arrangements regarding programming, and allowing DMAs to be redrawn in instances where customers can no longer receive a local television signal.
