Cable lobby to sue Trump FCC over repeal of national TV ownership cap
Summary
Cable lobby groups plan to sue the FCC to block the repeal of the National Television Ownership Rule, warning that higher retransmission fees will drive up consumer TV bills. The FCC contends it has authority to modify or repeal the rule outside quadrennial reviews, and multiple lawsuits are anticipated, including challenges tied to recent mergers such as Nexstar and Tegna.
