US agency ends 39% household cap on local TV station owners

Someone tell me how it would be "in the public interest" to allow one owner to control more than 50% of the market.

Brendan Carr is a dummy (TM)

How does a commission override a congressional ruling though? Seems like the "checks" part of the "balances" is a bit out of balance.

TV is dead so who cares if it consolidates. In fact, consolidation is probably the only way it staves off complete collapse for a few extra years.

The average age of a Fox News, CNN or MSNBC viewer is 60+.

The median 20 year old NEVER watches TV.
