INTRODUCTION In recent decades, the must-carry rules have had a troubled constitutional history. After two sets of rules were struck down by the D.C. Circuit for violating the First Amendment rights of both cable operators and cable programmers, Congress revised the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules in the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (1992 Cable Act). (1) In 1997, the Supreme Court determined that the must-carry law was constitutional under an intermediate scrutiny test. (2) The Court's decision was ultimately based on the determination that Congress relied on substantial evidence when inferring that broadcasters would be hurt without the must-carry rules. However, does the Turner II (3) decision preclude further First Amendment challenges to the must-carry rules? This Note argues that the answer is no and that the time is drawing near for new challenges. Because the must-carry rules were facially challenged in the Turner decisions, no party is precluded from challenging the rules as applied. Although subsequent challengers of the must-carry law have the burden of overcoming the deference afforded to Congress's findings, this should be possible. In many markets, the central premise to Congress's findings--cable will abuse its market power by behaving anticompetitively toward broadcasting--is no longer or increasingly less possible. After all, Turner I (4) established that a harm must actually be proven, and Turner II merely established that Congress' findings were sufficient to withstand a facial application of First Amendment scrutiny. This Note has four subsequent Parts. Part II will provide background on the birth of the must-carry rules. Part III will discuss the Turner decisions. Part IV will discuss must-carry rules today and the impact of the Turner decisions on future litigation. Part V concludes the Note. II. MUST-CARRY'S PURPOSE A. Cable Becomes a Threat to Broadcasting The must-carry provisions are as old as the initial attempts to regulate cable, which began when cable was first perceived as a threat to broadcasting. Cable was first used in the 1940s as a means to facilitate broadcasting. (5) Because broadcast waves reflect off of mountains, (6) instead of bending around them, individuals living in mountainous areas had a difficult time receiving broadcast signals. In order to solve this problem, large antennae were placed on mountain tops, and cables were run from the head end, (7) where the broadcast signals from an antenna were collected, to people's homes in the surrounding communities. …" @default.
