DEMOCRATS URGE FCC TO DROP PLAN TO REVISE TV OWNERSHIP RULES

摘要

The top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives urged the Federal Communications Commission to cancel a vote scheduled on a measure to reverse a 2016 rule that limits the number of television stations some broadcasters can buy. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi warned that the changes could be harmful to consumers, hitting their wallets and their access to an independent media voice, as she cited press reports of a possible acquisition by Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc of Tribune Media Co stations.
