With this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Federal Communications Commission seeks comment on its media ownership rules pursuant to section 202(h) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which directs the Commission to review such rules every four years to determine whether they remain necessary in the public interest as the result of competition and to repeal or modify any regulation that it determines to be no longer in the public interest.  This periodic review aims to ensure that the media ownership rules continue to serve the public interest in light of new and emerging technologies and ever-evolving marketplace conditions.  The rules subject to our review in this proceeding are:  (1) the Local Radio Ownership Rule;(2) the Local Television Ownership Rule;and (3) the Dual Network Rule.
