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.

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, Trevor Brown Troy, NC [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, david lam Kalamazoo, MI [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, Rebekah Schauer Quantico, VA [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, robert bowman Athens, GA [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, jeff bush athens, GA [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, Nathaniel Allen 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, edward brajkovich Hubbard, 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, Angela Johnson Kiele Chugiak, AK [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, Louise Ortiz Hartford, CT [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, Rachel Killingbeck Beaverton, OR [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, alesha ames Richmond, VA [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, CECIL KRONE Port Angeles, WA [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, Thomas Garcia Adelanto, 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, Bill Weber Waukesha, WI [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, Dimitri Richardson Santa Barbara, CA [email protected]
