The Federal Communications Commission voted to examine on a case-by-case basis when a broadcaster may be exempted from its rule prohibiting direct ownership, operation or control of both a radio and television station in the same market. Although the panel emphasized that it was retaining the “one-to-a-market” rule, the decision drastically relaxes the 1970 restriction on common ownership of commercial television and radio stations in the same market. The one-to-a-market rule prohibits ownership of a radio and VHF television station or any broadcast operation and a daily newspaper in the same market.
