## Abstract

In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O) the Commission denies a petition for reconsideration of its rule that prohibits exclusive programming contracts between cable operators and satellite cable or satellite broadcast programming vendors in which a cable operator has an attributable interest, in areas unserved by cable. The rule was promulgated to implement section 19 of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (1992 Cable Act). The Commission held that the rule is a reasonable interpretation of the 1992 Cable Act and that there are other provisions in the Act under which a distributor can challenge a non-cable distributor's exclusive contract.
