NAB to Drop Effort to Overturn FCC Ruling

IN BRIEF / MEDIA

July 10, 2003|Edmund Sanders

The National Assn. of Broadcasters is expected to announce today that it is pulling out of the campaign in Congress to overturn the Federal Communications Commission's recent relaxation of media-ownership rules, sources said.

The proposed law was significantly broadened during its markup in a Senate committee to include amendments that many broadcasters oppose, such as reinstating the ban on cross-ownership of TV stations and newspapers.
