Judicial Panel Halts FCC Rule Changes
A federal judicial panel yesterday temporarily blocked the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) new media-ownership rules from taking effect as scheduled today.
In a blow to the Republican-led FCC, the three-judge panel of the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
in Philadelphia issued a stay order preventing the regulatory agency from loosening ownership rules on local television and radio stations, pending further proceedings.
The order was requested by a media-activist group called the Prometheus Radio Project, which argued that the new rules would precipitate a wave of media consolidation.
