What Washington Has in Store for Broadcasters and Digital Media Companies in 2015 -- Part 2

[Commentary] There are many actions in courts, at government agencies and in Congress that could change law or policy and affect operations of media companies in some way.

These include not just changes in communications policies directly, but also changes in copyright and other laws that could have a significant impact on the operations of all sorts of companies operating in the media world. Examples include the appeal of the Federal Communications Commission's order setting the rules for the incentive auction, the suggested rewrite of the Communications Act, music licensing reform, and others. There are plenty of issues for broadcasters and digital media companies to consider, and other issues will no doubt come up. So watch carefully to see how these play out as 2015 progresses, and how these actions could affect broadcasters’ business.
