FCC Won't Consider 39% Ownership Cap at July Meeting

Despite recent buzz that Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai would be scheduling a vote at the July 12 public meeting on a proposal related to the FCC's review of the 39% ownership cap/UHF discounts, such an item did not make the agenda. Chairman Pai blogged about the items on that July meeting, and while there was a potential media ownership deregulation item on it--children's TV rules--there was no mention of the discount or cap. An FCC spokesperson would not comment on the absence of an item, but confirmed it would not be voted at the meeting and nothing had been circulated.
