OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON May 28, 2010 The Honorable Howard Coble U.S. House of Representatives 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Coble: Thank you for your letter regarding the status of an Application for Review that was filed with the Commission concerning the availability of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) on cable television systems in North Carolina that are operated by Time Warner Cable. I understand your concerns and the importance of this matter to consumers in North Carolina who subscribe to Time Warner service. As you note, the Commission's Media Bureau had issued an Order on Review affirming an arbitrator's decision mandating carriage of MASN on Time Warner cable television systems in North Carolina. Time Warner filed an Application for Review requesting full Commission review of the Bureau's decision. A draft decision on the Time Warner Application had been circulated to the full Commission prior to my tenure as Chairman. Recently, the Commission's Media Bureau prepared a revised draft decision for the Commission's consideration, and I hope to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. I appreciate learning your views on this important matter. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
