FCC Votes 3-2 To Ease Old Ownership Limits On TV, Radio Stations; Panel Splits On Party Lines; GOP majority backs shift; '96 telecom law requires a biannual review of rules.(A)
Byline: SEAN HIGGINS
The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 Monday to loosen the rules on media ownership, opening the radio and TV industries to further consolidation.
The vote lifts a ban on owning a newspaper and a TV station in the same city. It also ends curbs on owning two TV stations in most markets and allows ownership of three in big cities.
