According to a report by George Reed-Dellinger of researcher Washington Analysis, Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. to lease eight channels to minority owners.
The source of the information comes from a letter from minority congressmen on the House Telecommunications Subcommittee today, who reportedly praised the concept.
At the time of writing this, the letter has yet to be posted to the
websites. A link will be provided when the letter is made available.
Reed-Dellinger feels this will help defuse the more aggressive proposal by privately owned
Georgetown Partners, which has asked the FCC to require approximately sixty channels
for minority programming.
