The FCC’s Chairman Kevin Martin told reports that he was pleased with the two satellite-radio companies’ a la carte programming proposal.  Martin mentioned that he has not read the details of the proposal, but he stated he was “pleased any time companies come forward with proposals that would give consumers more control over what they pay for.”

These comments came as Martin was speaking to reporters after the commission’s monthly public meeting at its Washington headquarters.

It is known that Martin has long advocated “a la carte” choices of cable television channels. It was widely seen by analysts that Karmazin was trying to curry favor with Martin with the proposals.  In addition Martin stated he couldn’t say when commissioners might decide on the merger.
