HOUSE APPROVES SATELLITE DISH BILL

A bill to ensure that people in remote areas can watch programs carried on broadcast stations was passed without objection by the House on Tuesday.

Approved by a voice vote, the bill must be reconciled with a measure the Senate passed in May.

The bill allows program distributors to continue selling broadcast signals to home satellite dish owners, the vast majority of whom reside in rural areas.
