3060-AL19 202404 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3060 Federal Communications Commission FCC Duplication of Programming on Commonly Owned Radio Stations (MB Docket No. 19-310)

In this proceeding, the Commission eliminated the radio duplication rule.  The rule bars same-service (AM or FM) commercial radio stations from duplicating more than 25% of their total hours of programming in an average broadcast week if the stations have 50% or more contours overlap and are commonly owned or subject to a time brokerage agreement.  Petitions for reconsideration are pending.
