WASHINGTON—A consortium of the largest television networks in the U.S. announced the formation of a new coalition to fight back against local broadcasters’ efforts to change the rules on negotiating carriage rights with virtual multichannel video program distributors (so-called “vMVPDs”).
The "Preserve Viewer Choice Coalition" includes ABC, CBS, Fox, Fubo, NBC, Roku, Telemundo, Univision, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The group said it “will aim to protect consumer streaming choices and preserve a competitive online video marketplace.”
