"The Federal Communications Commission announces the release of ten research studies on media ownership intended to inform the Commission’s comprehensive review of its broadcast ownership policies undertaken in its rulemaking proceeding in MB Docket No. 06-121 involving the issues raised by the opinion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Prometheus v. FCC and its quadrennial review of its broadcast ownership rules and certain other rules. The studies, which were conducted by outside researchers and by Commission staff, examine a range of issues that impact diversity, competition, and localism, three important policy goals of those rules. Pursuant to this Public Notice, the Commission seeks public comment on the studies, which are available on the Commission’s website at http://www.fcc.gov/ownership/studies.html. The Commission will incorporate the studies and the public comments in the record of this proceeding. The studies will also be peer-reviewed.
