一 | One of the nation's largest drugstore chains has voluntarily initiated the Chapter 11 process for bankruptcy protection.Rite Aid announced Sunday that the company had reached an agreement with creditors on the terms of its financial restructuring plan that will "increase its financial flexibility" and "significantly reduce" its existing debt.In addition to billions in debt and slumping sales, Rite Aid has faced over 1,000 federal, state and local lawsuits that claim its pharmacies allegedly filled thousands of illegal prescriptions for painkillers, according to the New York Times. In March, the Justice Department filed a complaint against the company, claiming it filled "unlawful prescriptions for controlled substances" that allegedly had obvious and often multiple red flags, indicating misuse. The company has denied those claims.In its press release Sunday, the company stated it will "resolve litigation claims in an equitable manner."Rite Aid did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for additional comment.Rite Aid says it employs more than 6,100 pharmacists and operates over 2,100 retail pharmacy locations across 17 states.The company said Sunday it had secured a commitment for $3.45 billion in new financing and debt reduction agreements under the court-supervised process which is "expected to provide sufficient liquidity to support the Company throughout this process," adding that it would also close some underperforming store locations and sell off some assets in order to "reduce the Company’s rent expense" and "strengthen its overall financial performance.""The Company is making every effort to ensure customers of impacted stores have access to health services, whether at another Rite Aid or a nearby pharmacy, and will work to transfer prescriptions accordingly so that there is no disruption of services," the company stated. Rite Aid "will also transfer associates at impacted stores to other Rite Aid locations where possible."Rite Aid also announced Jeffrey S. Stein will officially take over for Elizabeth Burr as chief executive officer. He will also serve as chief restructuring officer and a member of the company's board of directors. Burr is expected to "continue in her role as a Director on the Company’s Board," Rite Aid said."Rite Aid has served customers and communities across our country for more than 60 years, and the important actions we are taking today will enable us to move ahead as a stronger company," Stein said in a statement. "With the support of our lenders, we look forward to strengthening our financial foundation, advancing our transformation initiatives and accelerating the execution of our turnaround strategy. In doing so, we will be even better able to deliver the healthcare products and services our customers and their families rely on now and into the future."。 看电视原本是件愉快的事，但现在，对很多人来说，看电视却成了一件费时、花钱的烦心事，根据中国消费者协会的统计，近年来，有关电视 “套娃”收费和操作复杂的投诉不断增加。 什么是电视“套娃”收费 指用户除了购买电视机或者接入有线电视网络时支付的基础服务费外，在购买付费频道、点播服务或其他增值服务时，还面临收费项目多、收费花样层出不穷等问题。 想看电视直播有多复杂？最多操作11步才能找到直播入口。 很多智能电视和机顶盒的设计存在不同程度的操作复杂问题。
二 | 用户打开电视机，需要在遥控器上操作很多步骤，甚至要多次切换遥控器，才能找到自己想看的电视直播频道，严重影响收看体验。 国家广播电视总局广播电视科学研究院副院长盛志凡介绍：“现在电视机屏幕上很难找到直播的入口，用户要经过一系列操作。我们统计过，最多要操作11步才能找到直播的入口。” 开机慢、免费难、“套娃”收费……看个电视这么累，为让看电视回归简单，国家多部门开展联合治理。 8月21日，国家广播电视总局联合工业和信息化部、国家市场监管总局等有关单位，在京召开了治理电视“套娃”收费和操作复杂工作动员部署会。 有关单位要求将“开机直接呈现全屏直播电视”作为有线电视和IPTV的默认开机模式，并把开机时长控制在35秒以内。同时尽最大努力优化机顶盒功能，实现可以短至几秒的待机启动。 目前，全国80%的有线电视终端、85%的IPTV终端已实现开机看电视直播频道，更多用户开始回归电视收看直播频道。数据显示，全国有线电视用户数日开机时长增长了4.3%，日活用户数增长了6.21%。 除了让看电视更简单，还要让点播收费更加明白。在解决电视“套娃”收费问题方面，第一阶段治理选取北京歌华有线等7家试点，主要针对电视收费包多、收费主体多、收费不透明三个方面开展治理。 根据治理要求： 所有电视大屏页面在首页首屏都要设置免费专区入口。 单片付费内容要在导航栏设置专区入口。
三 | 所有收费节目要有明显标识，所有购买内容需要设置显著的取消选择选项。 所有应用下载必须集中在“应用中心”内，不能混排在内容页面。 所有的订购内容都可以在订购信息页进行查询。 目前，所有的试点单位都已经完成了整改，七家试点收费包都压减了50%以上。 11月起到明年年底，治理工作将在全国范围继续推广。 经过第一阶段试点后，治理电视“套娃”收费和操作复杂工作已经总结了一系列经验。
四 | 3日，有关单位组织召开了治理电视“套娃”收费和操作复杂试点工作总结暨全国推广工作部署推进会，总结前期治理电视“套娃”收费和操作复杂试点工作成效，同时介绍全国推广阶段性方案。 从11月开始到明年年底，治理工作后续阶段已经开始，将在全国范围继续推广。 国家广播电视总局科技司司长余英表示，后续，针对需要更换机顶盒才能够改善用户体验的情况，将制定替换计划。另外，将组织部署有新功能的软件，实现开机自动优先显示直播电视信号。同时，继续推进简化减少遥控器工作，推进电视机机顶盒一体化，发布一系列标准规范。 责任编辑：洪洋。
