House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., said Thursday he believesnCongress will pass a "clean" reauthorization of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Actn(STELA), which is set to expire Dec. 31, 2014. "My hunch is that it ends up being a pretty clean act,"nWalden said in an interview for C-SPAN's The Communicators series scheduled to air this weekend. "Inwould prefer to do one thing at a time and not have all these other things hooked on," he said. Waldennsaid his subcommittee plans to hold a hearing on the video marketplace "fairly soon." Industry sourcesnrecently told us the subcommittee was seeking to invite representatives from Time Warner Cable,nDirecTV, NAB and Aereo to testify at a mid-June hearing (CD May 21 p13).
