8/1/2014 Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Patti Ward Milford, PA [email protected]

Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Roger Bonds Saint Louis, MO [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Tabby Huddy Nelsonville, OH [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, laura skaggs Shawnee, KS [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Martin Rodriguez Elk Grove, CA [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Terry Ping Somerset, KY [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Jordan Carroll Gaston, SC [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Tammy Bruno Pittsburgh, PA [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, toni rozier Warminster, PA [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Tony Meyer Chandler, AZ [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, SHARON CALDWELL VIAN, OK [email protected]

The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Sue Smith Milton, NH [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Wendy Price Indianapolis, IN [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Walter Strack Torrance, CA [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Maria Eggers Tampa, NY [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Michelle Mann Souderton, PA [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, jawana mored Utica, NY [email protected]

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Room TW-A325 Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: Re: MB Docket No. 12-3 I write as a football fan to strongly urge you to maintain the FCC’s current broadcast rules now under review. The Sports Blackout Rule has been in place for decades and keeps NFL games on free, over-the-air TV. The NFL, my local community and fans like me all win when home games are sold out. Under the current system, I have access to all of my local team’s games on free TV. I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, Jason Craft Sumrall, MS [email protected]

I object to the cable and satellite company lobbyists who are trying to change the rules in order to charge exorbitant fees for football games that I can watch right now for free on local television. The current system works – over 99 percent of NFL games were available on local broadcast TV in 2013. Let’s keep the current rules and keep the NFL on free, over-the-air TV. Sincerely, david leach New Albany, IN [email protected]
