Myron Falwell 2,944 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 And the courts themselves are slowly but surely being molded into Der Führer Drumpf's image because Republicans have allowed it to be so by leaving open any vacancies left behind during the previous administration's tenure. Corporate America and government are one in the same now if not already. Yup. Paid Off will kill Net Neutrality outright with that 3-2 majority vote and that will be the ballgame. Nothing will stop Paid Off. Not Congress, not the courts. Nothing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CircleSeven 1,331 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 The new dereg measure is now posted in the Federal Register. It goes in effect February 7th. That is unless the advocacy groups try to get an "emergency" stay granted from the courts (which is rare). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CircleSeven 1,331 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Looks like the court has sided with Prometheus on this one. The Third Circuit has vacated Pai's dereg in a 2-1 vote. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like Paid Off can appeal this, but time is fast running out unless the rubber stamp right of SCOTUS wants to give him an assist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The national ownership cap was not part of this media ownership matter. The matter was these changes (ending the NBCO rule and 8-voice test, tweaking the top-4 rule). Pai will no doubt appeal this ruling. But deals involving these rule changes that are pending right now (the KDLT deal to Gray (top-4), the KQTV deal to NPG (NBCO) and the KTTU deal to Tegna (8-voice test)) are in serious jeopardy. Nexstar should be happy that their deal was greenlighted before today's ruling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wow. The Third Circuit is not going to hear the FCC's review to appeal of the court's vacation ruling. At this point, there's no other alternative other than taking their appeal to the Supreme Court. And that's going to be an even longer process. Edited November 21, 2019 by CircleSeven Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheRyan 521 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Getting the Supreme Court to rule on this (if they take up the case) should be interesting. Also, I wonder if this delay is going to force Gray to hold off on their plans for KSFY/KDLT. Edited November 21, 2019 by TheRyan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CircleSeven 1,331 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) So Pai is pressing on...... The Solicitor General (on behalf of the FCC) have petitioned to the Supreme Court to review the Third Circuit's vacation of Pai's dereg rule. The NAB & and a slew of broadcasters have also wrote a similar petition. We'll see if the higher court will hear their appeal. And if so, this would be historic.

CubsFan79 34 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'm surprised GRAY TV was not mentioned. Gray tried to buy KGWC TV while still owning KCWY TV. The DOJ/FCC blocked the deal. Now all 3 TV stations are under new ownership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basically the parties involved are asking for SCOTUS to overturn the third circuit's ruling on the dereg moves the FCC made in the Fall of 2017 that was overturned by the Third Circuit only because the Third Circuit would much rather keep old regulations to drag down the industry than to allow the industry to survive and thrive (been that way for a while) In short, the third circuit are being obstructionists of anything that the FCC is trying to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CubsFan79 34 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 What are the likely hood of SCOTUS of overturning the Third Circuit's decision. Will the SCOTUS side with the FCC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CircleSeven 1,331 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I guess we will know by this week on whether the Supreme Court will hear FCC & NAB's appeal of the Third Circuit ruling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CircleSeven 1,331 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) From Reuters, the Supreme Court WILL hear their appeal.

CubsFan79 34 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It will be interesting to see if the Supreme Court will overturn the third court's ruling. Allowing cross newspaper/TV ownership and owning Two top 4 TV stations in the same market. The FCC and NAB were happy for the SC to hear the appeal. Will see how it plays out.
