FCC adopts rules to promote Diversification of Broadcast Ownership.

In this Report and Order and Third Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (“Report and Order and Third Further Notice”), we take several steps to increase participation in the broadcasting industry by new entrants and small businesses, including minority- and women-owned businesses, which historically have not been well-represented in the broadcasting industry. After setting forth our objectives, we define the entities that will benefit initially from our actions and adopt a number of measures modifying certain of our rules and policies to encourage ownership diversity and new entry in broadcasting. We also seek comment on several additional proposals.
