Sadly the FCC looks out more for the special interest groups that they pretend to protect us from then the look out for the people they are supposed to protect.

Letter: We're paying to watch TV commercials Chad Coole 4:15 p.m. MST May 5, 2016 In Saturday's edition, a reader bemoaned an additional charge by Cox for placing a mini box on additional TVs throughout her household. She commented about the middle class being "nickel and dimed." How about this: the FCC has allowed 9 minutes of advertising for each 30-minute segment of TV viewership time. This equates to 18 minutes per each TV hour. Eighteen minutes is 30 percent of 60 minutes. In other words, 30 percent of fees paid to cable providers by viewers are paid to watch advertising. Subscribers don't have the ability to tailor channel viewership to suit our tastes but the FCC sees nothing wrong with allowing providers to charge us for advertising time. Seems like a double dip to me. .This in a market where Direct TV subscribers cannot get any live PAC 12 sporting events. Who's watching out for us? — Chad Coole, Sun Lakes
