The Cable TV Bill Would:

Regulate rates for a basic tier of service. Rates for additional programming could be challenged, and the Federal Communications Commission could refund overcharges to consumers.

Give local broadcasters a choice: They could seek payment from cable operators who want to carry their signals, or forfeit that option and force cable operators to carry their signal for free.

Allow cable competitors such as direct-broadcasting satellite to acquire cable programs at a fair market price.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
