Bloomberg Wants FCC Action on Comcast Neighborhooding Compliant

Bloomberg is pushing the Federal Communications Commission to come to a final decision on its complaint against Comcast for what Bloomberg alleges is a violation of the news neighborhooding condition the FCC imposed as a condition of allowing Comcast to meld with NBCU.

Bloomberg says the FCC should act "immediately" to move Bloomberg TV into all the standard-definition "news neighborhoods" on Comcast systems in the top 35 markets. The company points out that it has been 29 months since the FCC approved the deal, and almost a year since the Media Bureau said there should be some neighborhooding, then stayed that decision pending review by the full FCC. "[I]t is past time for the Commission to expeditiously act on this matter," said Bloomberg.
