NAB To Sue FCC Over Quadrennial Ownership Review

https://radioinsight.com/blog/headli...ership-review/



The National Association of Broadcasters intends to sue the FCC over the
results of its quadrennial media ownership regulatory review.

NAB Executive Vice President of Communications Dennis Wharton told
Broadcasting Cable, “Broadcasters want to compete in the digital age and
continue being a trusted source for local news and information, but FCC
rules need to reflect 2016 and not the 1960s. It defies belief that the FCC
allows ATT/DirecTV and Charter/Time Warner mergers while barring two Topeka
TV stations from combining, or a radio station from buying a newspaper.�

The NAB is seeking the removal of the newspaper/broadcasting
cross-ownership ban and the limits on television stations. Jerianne
Timmerman

Senior Deputy General Counsel for the NAB wrote a long blog entry last week
considering that the FCCs view states nothing of import has changed in the
news industry and the marketplace position of print newspapers and
broadcast stations for the past 41 years.
