MCN Newswire: Wheeler Has Votes for Charter-TWC; Suddenlink Adds Hulu; FCC Set-Top Plan: Few Benefits, Many Costs

Top Stories - May 6, 2016
Wheeler Has Majority for Charter-TWC: Source
FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has at least three votes, including his own, to conditionally approve the Charter-Time Warner Cable merger, according to a source familiar with the vote.  more
WHY THIS MATTERS: The source confirmed that Democratic commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel and Republican Michael O'Rielly had voted to approve the proposal, while Ajit Pai voted against it, and Mignon Clyburn had not yet voted by press time. (See more Charter-TWC stories under NEWS, below)

Suddenlink Tunes In Hulu
Suddenlink is the latest U.S. MVPD to complete an integration with Hulu, announcing Thursday that the SVOD service is now available  to the MSO's subs with TiVo-powered set-top boxes. more
WHY THIS MATTERS: Suddenlink, now part of Altice, announced plans to integrate Hulu's SVOD service about a year ago; in the interim, Hulu has signed distribution deals with a number of other MVPDs and this week confirmed it is developing a skinny-bundle OTT service that would presumably compete with some of those new partners.

Wheeler Hears More From Hill on Set-Tops
A bipartisan, but heavily Republican, group of legislators have added their names to the rolls of those not happy with FCC chairman Tom Wheeler's set-top box proposal. more
WHY THIS MATTERS: In a letter to Wheeler, 60 members of Congress said the set-top plan has few benefits and many costs, the latter including a technical mandate that would inject uncertainty into the marketplace.
