TRIBUNE TAKES FCC WAIVER DECISION TO COURT
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
It didn't take long for Tribune to take the Federal Communications Commission to court over its decision to grant temporary waivers for the company's newspaper-broadcast cross-ownerships in five markets. Why would the company sue a commission that just saved its buyout deal? Because it still gets the waiver whether it sues or not. And if it wins, the newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership ban could get thrown out altogether -- a step FCC Chairman Martin has signaled he is unwilling to take.
