"2024 Colorado Rockies Games to Air on Major TV Platforms"

The Colorado Rockies announced that their 2024 games will be televised on Comcast/Xfinity, Fubo, DirecTV, and Spectrum, with the option to stream through Rockies.TV for a monthly fee. MLB will produce and distribute all the games, removing blackouts for fans in the Rockies’ traditional TV territory. Prices for Rockies.TV range from $19.99 per month for Rockies games only to $39.99 per month for Rockies games plus MLB games. AT&T SportsNet Mountain Rocky Mountain, which had televised Rockies games since 1997, shut down last December.

FCC Mandates Transparent Pricing for Cable and Satellite TV Plans

The FCC has passed new rules requiring cable and satellite providers to clearly disclose the "all in" price of subscriptions in promotional materials, aiming to eliminate hidden fees and make it easier for consumers to compare services. The rules, passed 3-2, have faced opposition from industry representatives who argue that it will lead to cluttered ads or omitted pricing information. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has also proposed measures to address "junk fees" and eliminate early termination fees, while the White House has focused on limiting surcharges and late fees in various industries.

FCC Takes Stand Against Cable Termination Fees

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed banning early termination fees charged by cable and satellite TV providers, as well as requiring prorated credits or rebates for customers who cancel before a billing period ends. The FCC's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) has received opposition from cable lobby group NCTA-The Internet & Television Association, which argues that the proposals would limit consumer choice and amount to rate regulation. Republicans on the FCC also dissented, expressing concerns about the FCC's regulatory authority and the potential impact on market competition. The proposed rules are now open for public comment before a final vote is held in the coming months.
