Title: Radio Market Definitions (MM Docket No. 03-130) 
Abstract: This FNPRM proposes changes to local ownership rules and policies concerning multiple ownership of radio broadcasting stations. The Commission examines the effect our current rules have had on the public and seeks comments to better serve our communities. This action is also intended to consider possible changes to our current local market radio ownership rules and policies in accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Because of the similarity of the issues presented in the Multiple Ownership of Radio Broadcast Stations in Local Markets to those in the Matter of Definition of Radio Market, the two actions were, in effect, consolidated. These issues were evaluated as part of the Commission's biennial review of Media Ownership rules. An NPRM was initiated regarding the definition of radio markets in smaller communities.
