The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has agreed to a new, expedited schedule to hear the broadcaster challenges to the Federal Communications Commission broadcast incentive spectrum auction. The new schedule sets Nov. 7 for a joint brief from National Association of Broadcasters and Sinclair; Dec. 16 for respondents brief, Dec. 24 for briefs from parties intervening on either side; Jan. 20 for reply briefs, and Jan. 27 for final briefs. The court did not set an oral argument date. The briefs must make clear the standing of the petitioners to challenge the FCC's administrative action, said the court.
