Subject: [NEXTEL-1] Reply Comment Deadline Regarding Commission's Broadcast Ownership Rules]

From: Marcel <[email-masked]>

This is a reminder that the deadline for filing Reply Comments in the Commission*s pending
Broadcast Ownership proceeding is February 3, 2003.  
This proceeding is considered to be the most comprehensive look at media ownership
regulation ever undertaken by the FCC. The objective of the proceeding is to develop
ownership rules and policies that are reflective of the current media marketplace, are
based on empirical evidence, and are analytically consistent.  

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) addresses all of the media ownership rules
related to use of the broadcast spectrum.  The six rules under consideration, and the year
they originally were adopted are:
Newspaper/Broadcast Cross-Ownership Prohibition (1975), 
Local Radio Ownership (1941),
National TV Ownership (1941),
Local TV Multiple Ownership (1964),
Radio/TV Cross-Ownership Restriction (1970), and
Dual Television Network Rule (1946).

As part of the Biennial Review, the FCC commissioned a number of empirical studies
examining the current state of the media marketplace, including how consumers use the
media, how advertisers view the different media outlets, and how media ownership affects
diversity, localism and competition. Commenters are encouraged to review the studies,
which are available on the Commission*s website at
http://www.fcc.gov/ownership/studies.html
Comments may be submitted through ECFS Express on the Commission*s website at:

cassette, and Braille).  Persons who need documents in such formats may contact Brian
Millin at (202) 418-7426, TTY (202) 418-7365, or [email-masked].
