There is a need for greater access to rural content.

Currently, there are two resolutions introduced in Washington, D.C., House Resolution 451 and Senate Resolution 113.

The goal is to provide rural Americans with access to content relevant to their daily lives, including the programming RFD-TV provides. It is also an effort to connect city with country.
