Court In Session
The recent action by Congress to cap station group ownership at 39 percent of the U.S. television market may not be the final word. On Wednesday the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia hears oral arguments in lawsuits seeking to overturn last year’s original decision by the Federal Communications Commission to relax media ownership regulations. One controversial ruling at issue is a regulation that barred broadcasters from buying daily newspapers in their markets.
