The Minority Media & Telecom Council again said...

The Minority Media & Telecom Council again said it doesn’t object to some modest relaxation of the cross-ownership rule in large and medium markets, “so long as relaxation would not diminish minority ownership.” Comments were contained in an ex parte filing in dockets 09-182 and 07-294 (http://bit.ly/IQ3pwY). MMTC doesn’t believe the FCC “should further relax the television duopoly rule since that would deter growth of diverse ownership in broadcasting,” it said. “MMTC similarly feels that most shared service agreements are detrimental to minority ownership.” The filing pertained to a meeting with Maria Kirby, legal adviser to Chairman Tom Wheeler, it said.
