Broadcasters Are Split On Ownership Appeal

摘要

Broadcasters Are Divided over how the Supreme Court should view a Third Circuit decision upholding most of the Federal Communications Commissions local ownership caps. While broadcasters all want the Supreme Court to hear the appeal of that decision-having filed petitions to that effect last week- they are divided over how deep a dive the court should take into them. Fox, joined by Tribune, Sinclair, Bonneville, The Scranton Times, Clear Channel, Morris Communications and the Newspaper Association of America not only want the High Court to reverse the lower court, but they argue that the spectrum scarcity rationale underpinning media ownership regs in general should be thrown but.
