21st Century Fox is taking a hard look at the Federal Communications Commission's proposed spectrum incentive auction, President and COO Chase Carey says. "It's certainly something we're taking seriously, we're engaged in," said Carey. "Some of the numbers that get thrown around are pretty interesting." Acknowledging that key details of the auction still remain to "get fleshed out," Carey noted that, "we've got a lot of stations and a lot of spectrum. We're certainly fully engaged and there are a number of signs that say it could be interesting." Fox has duopolies in 11 of the top 24 markets, making it a prime candidate for monetizing some of its spectrum.
