Radio ownership rules have not undergone any significant changes since the 1990s.


That’s a problem, says Republican FCC Commissioner Mike O’Rielly. With that attitude, O’Rielly and his GOP colleagues heralded the agency’s consideration of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would initiate a review of “certain broadcast ownership rules.”

Brendan Carr noted how some of these rules have been in place since 1940.
