My cable company is now under the impression that they need "permission"
to broadcast Nasa Select.

Do they ?

Who can I contact at Nasa Select to straighten this out ?

Thanks

No.  The government produces it and it's in the public domain.
It *is* reasonable for the cable company to ask for written assurance of this.
(From a source more authoritative than Bill Higgins, I mean.)

This question has come up before-- should be in the FAQ-- but I don't
have the answer handy.  Call the Public Affairs Office at NASA
Headquarters and try to find out.  (202)453-8400.  If you get the
answer, post it!
