FCC Ownership Rules

FCC Ownership Rules are regulations that promote diverse and local media by limiting how many radio and TV stations a single company can own in a market. They aim to prevent one entity from dominating local programming, ensuring competition and variety for viewers and listeners. The rules specify thresholds based on market size and station types, sometimes requiring stations to be divested if ownership concentrations become too high. Overall, these regulations help maintain a balanced media landscape where multiple voices and perspectives can thrive.
