The FCC issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in its reexamination of its multiple ownership rules, suggesting limited changes in its rules governing the number of interests that one person or company can have in media outlets in a particular community. The FCC's tentative conclusions leave most of the current rules in place - including rules that limit the number of radio and TV stations that one entity can own in a market, and rules prohibiting combined ownership of daily newspapers and TV stations in the same market. The Commission also proposed keeping the dual network rule, prohibiting the combination of any of the four major TV networks. Shared Services Agreements were another issue addressed by the FCC - proposing to examine SSAs and and other news and program sharing agreements between otherwise independent stations. The FCC did propose the abolition of one rule - the rule that currently limits the ownership of radio and TV stations in the same market. In the NPRM, the FCC suggested that other ownership rules could be waived in some instances, so the details of waivers and exceptions could become an important aspect of any final decision in this proceeding. All of these conclusions are tentative, and the Commission asks many questions about each of its tentative conclusions and asks for public comment on its ideas. The public can formally weigh in with comments for 45 days after the NPRM is published in the Federal Register, and file replies 30 days later. After that, there is sure to be much lobbying of the Commissioners before any final decision is made.
