Last September we reported on a request advanced by the Coalition for Broadcast Investment seeking "clarification" of the FCC’s broadcast ownership limitations on alien ownership. You can find a copy of the Coalition’s letter request here. As summarized by the Commission, the proposal asks the Commission to “clarify that it will conduct a substantive, facts and circumstances evaluation of proposals for foreign investment in excess of 25 percent in the parent company of a broadcast licensee, consistent with and in furtherance of its authority under 47 U.S.C. § 310(b)(4)
The Commission has now solicited comments on the proposal. If you have any thoughts about the Coalition’s suggestion that you’d care to share with the Commission, you’ve got until April 15, 2013 to submit them; reply comments may be filed by April 30. You can file on paper, or electronically through ECFS (referencing MB Docket No. 13-50).
