Statement of significant interest
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 803(b(1)(B) and 37 C.F.R. § 351.1(b)(1)(B), the Motion Picture Association, Inc. (“MPA”), its member companies and other producers and distributors of syndicated series, movies, specials, and non-team sports broadcast by television stations and retransmitted by cable systems who have agreed to representation by MPA (“Program Suppliers”) state they have a significant interest in the rate adjustment proceeding designated as Docket No. 24-CRB-0005-CRA (2025-2029). Program Suppliers, as representative of the interests of programming owners who are entitled to a portion of the Section 111 cable royalties, have participated in every cable royalty distribution proceeding and cable royalty rate adjustment proceeding since Section 111 was enacted. Program Suppliers have received and expect to continue to receive Section 111 royalties, and thus have a significant interest in the royalty rates that are the subject of this proceeding.
