FCC Plans Diversification Of Radio Ownership Action
The FCC rules out a blanket ownership cap and favors diversification of radio ownership. It will consider each application on public interest grounds, avoiding monopolies while allowing qualified newspapers and non newspapers to compete. When two similarly qualified applicants seek a single frequency, public interest may favor the non newspaper entrant. The commission aims to maximize qualified entrants and prevent concentration in mass communications.
