WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. and chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation has sent a letter to the FCC urging the agency to reopen its record on vMVPDs like YouTube TV and consider reclassifying them so that they would have to adhere to the same rules at traditional multichannel video providers.
Broadcasters and the NAB have long pushed for revising the rules governing vMVPDs like Sling TV, FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Now and others who provide packages of streaming channels over the internet.
