FCC eases media ownership limits to broaden reach
Federal regulators voted to allow purchases enabling companies to own TV stations reaching nearly half the nation’s viewers and to combine newspapers with broadcast outlets in the same city. The move drew critics who warn of concentrated control, while supporters say it reflects a changing media landscape dominated by cable, satellite, and the Internet.
