Lautenberg attaches broadcast public service amendment to DTV bill

While the NAB concentrated on extending analog television, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg pushed through an amendment to the DTV legislation that orders the FCC to recommend specific amounts of broadcast public interest programming, including election coverage.
Approved by a 13-8 vote, the provision was a setback for broadcasters who argued that such specific programming requirements infringe their right of free speech.
