News Corp. attorneys met with FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai and an aide to urge the commission against changing retransmission consent rules, an ex parte notice shows. “We explained the marketplace works well and that nearly all negotiations are resolved amicably, without any disruption to consumers,” it said (http://xrl.us/bnh3at). Answering a question from Pai, the lawyers said it’s time for the commission to repeal its ban on cross-ownership of a newspaper and broadcast license in the same market.
