Our Work
Representing the nation's rural cable consumer, Mediacom Communications Corp. has fought to level the playing field between cable operators and broadcasters on the issue of retransmission consent on Capitol Hill and at the FCC. Before it became vogue in 2010, Rasky Baerlein worked to elevate awareness with key lawmakers about the issue's consequences to consumers. This effort resulted in scores of letters to the FCC endorsing Mediacom's public policy perspective, which paved the way for increased attention from key U.S. Senators who introduced legislation that resulted in a proposed rulemaking from the FCC. Rasky Baerlein's work has helped Mediacom emerge as a cable industry leader on this issue.
