Base opposes tariff increase
Black Associated Sports
Enterprises, Inc. of Beverly
H ills, California, producers
of the G ram bli-g College
Football Highlight show, has
voiced
opposition
to
an
American T e le p h o n e and
Telegraph Company request
to increase its ta riffs fo r
television stations.
In an eight page submission
to the Federal Communica
tions Commission, it was
noted
that the
Increase
" . . . if allowed to go into
effect, w ill have r immediate
adverse effect upon BASE’ S
ability to disseminate Black
sports events to anticipating
television stations.*' AT&T
charges, accordmz to BASE,
presently constitute about
fifty per cent of the company's
production costs.
BASE has p rduced the
Crambling h ig k b z 't show fo r
the past three seasons and
hss begun plans fo r the ex
pansion of its sports network
to include Black Collegiate
Basketball and other sports.
The company, on the basis
of its successful production of
Black collegiate
letics, has
h«en asked by a number of
sources to extend its sports
coverage, hence plans fo r
year-round presentation that
w ill he broadened to include
close-up views of the aca
demic and cultural resources
of the nation's Black institu
tions.
The
request fo r denial
stems from the effect that
these increases would have
on BASE and other s im ila r
companies
that are
oc
casional users of the service.
The FCC is currently con
ducting an overall proceeding
on the AT&T rate structure
and it has been ruled that
special permission must be
obtained before ta riffs are
changed.
C iting the fact that im
mediate and Irreparable in
ju ry would be suffered by the
company, BASE’ s request fo r
denial also added:
"B lack
sports programming cannot
be sold to advertisers at
rates comparable to general
programming
since
such
programming appeals p r i
m a rily to only about ten
percent of the nation's popu

the inability of the rating
services to develop meaning
ful procedures to determine
Black viewership. Accord
ingly, an increase in AT&T
charges must be absorbed by
BASE since increased costs
cannot be passed on the ad
v e rtis e r."
Mention was also made of
the
fact that an attempt
in 1967 to form a fourth m ajor
network was chilled to some
extent because the AT&T rate
structure would not allow the
group to pay only a propor
tionate share of the Contract
rate since its programming
was lim ite d . Though it was
noted that other involved fac
tors contributed to the net
w ork’ s fa ilu re , AT&T rates
were an Important factor In
its demise.
In summation of Its posi
tion, BASE stated the follow
ing: "BASE believes that the
proposed Increase In rates
w ill in fact fe self-defeating.
Instead of generating addi
tional revenue to offset the
alleged costs involved fo r

It stated, with an a ir of
fin a lity, that, " I f subjected
to rates of the magnitude pro
posed by AT&T, BASE might
well be forced out of busi
ness."
