At a press conference in Washington with FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein, the groups called for a crackdown on stations that present corporate-sponsored videos as genuine news to an unsuspecting audience. CMD, which unveiled the results of a 10-month investigation, found scores of local stations slipping commercial “video news releases,” or VNRs, into their regular news programming. The new multimedia report released today includes footage of 36 separate VNRs and their broadcast as “news” by TV stations and networks nationwide, including those in the nation’s biggest markets. The full report -- “Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed” -- is now available complete with VNR and TV station video footage at www.prwatch.org/fakenews/execsummary.

    case 1:11-cv-00249-RLM-RBC document 65 filed 07/09/12 page 1 of 20 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA FORT WAYNE DIVISION NEXSTAR BROADCASTING, INC., ) ) Plaintiff ) ) vs. ) CAUSE NO. 1:11-CV-249 RM ) GRANITE BROADCASTING ) CORPORATION, WISE-TV LICENSE, ) LLC, AND WISE-TV, INC., ) ) Defendants) OPINION and ORDER This antitrust suit focuses on the market in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, area for television local spot advertising supported by network programming. Until its affiliation expired at the end of last July, Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. operated the FOX affiliate in Fort Wayne. Granite Broadcasting Corporation became the FOX affiliate, giving Granite and Malara Broadcasting (with which Granite is allegedly associated) five of the six network affiliations in the Fort Wayne area. Nexstar contends that by its anticompetitive conduct, Granite has foreclosed it from the market. Granite has moved to dismiss Nexstar’s complaint for failure to state a claim. The court heard argument on June 14, and now denies Granite’s motion. The issue on a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Procedure 12(b)(6) isn’t “whether a plaintiff will ultimately prevail, but whether the claimant is entitled to offer evidence to support the claims.” Caremark, Inc. v. Coram Healthcare Corp., 113 F.3d 645, 649 (7th Cir. 1997). The complaint must contain case 1:11-cv-00249-RLM-RBC document 65 filed 07/09/12 page 2 of 20 a “short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” FED. R. CIV.

  • Station Transactions: 1991 Through September 1998
    ---Station Transactions: 1991 through September 1998 Page 35 BEAR STEARNS Station Transactions -1991 through September 1998 - In this section, we provide quarterly summaries of significant television transactions that have occurred from 1991 through September 1998. The data summarized include: • the date a transaction was announced (rather than closed) • the property or properties acquired/swapped • the affiliation of the acquired/swapped property • the Designated Market Area (DMA) in which the acquired/swapped television station operates • the purchaser • the seller; and • the purchase price, on the date of announcement. Since the majority of these transactions were private, cash flow and transaction multiple estimates were not available for most of the properties and therefore were not included. These data can be used to determine 1) which broadcasters have been active buyers and sellers; 2) the relative prices paid for different properties in the same market; and 3) relative acquisition activity by quarter.

Wilson Policy Counsel Matthew F. Wood Policy Director Free Press 1025 Connecticut Avenue, Suite 1110 Washington, DC 20036 202-265-1490 December 21, 2012 SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION Free Press respectfully submits these comments in response to the Federal Communications Commission’s recently released report on the ownership of commercial broadcast stations (Form 323 Summary Report). As that report shows, and as the Commission acknowledged when it sought further comment, women and people of color hold broadcast licenses “in disproportionately small numbers.” 1 The record in this proceeding and in prior ownership reviews demonstrates conclusively that increased media consolidation and concentration work to keep those numbers low – harming rather than helping diversity of ownership, diversity of viewpoint, and the other public interest goals that the Commission’s policies purport to serve. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the report, though the truncated comment cycle coming after the Chairman’s office circulated a draft Order leads us to believe this is an exercise in optics, not a serious attempt to give consideration to this critical issue. 2 The Commission, which afforded the public an additional comment period only after interested parties stressed the need for further analysis, characterized itself as “going the extra mile for transparency” as it concluded the 2010 Quadrennial Review.3 However, the Commission has hardly gone the extra mile.

  • The Rise of Private Equity Media Ownership in the United States: a Public Interest Perspective▫
    International Journal of Communication 3 (2009), 208-239 1932-8036/20090208 The Rise of Private Equity Media Ownership in the United States: ▫ A Public Interest Perspective MATTHEW CRAIN University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign This article examines the logic, scope, and implications of the influx of private equity takeovers in the United States media sector in the last decade. The strategies and aims of private equity firms are explained in the context of the financial landscape that has allowed them to flourish; their aggressive expansion into media ownership is outlined in detail. Particular attention is paid to the public interest concerns raised by private equity media ownership relating to the frenzied nature of the buyout market, profit maximization strategies, and the heavy debt burdens imposed on acquired firms. The article concludes with discussion of the challenges posed by private equity to effective media regulation and comparison of private equity and corporate media ownership models. The media sector in the United States is deeply and historically rooted in the capitalist system of private ownership. The structures and demands of private ownership foundationally influence the management and operation of media firms, which must necessarily serve the ultimate end of profitability within such a system. The staggering levels of concentration and corporatization in media ownership in the United States are well documented and the resulting threats to media institutions’ conventional public interest obligations have been outlined in detail (Arsenault & Castells, 2008; Bagdikian, 1983, 2004; McChesney, 1999, 2004). Hypercommercialism, decreasing localism, lack of diversity, and disempowered and ineffectual journalism are among the most severe social symptoms of the corporate media system.

  • The FCC's Broadcast Media Ownership And
    . The FCC’s Broadcast Media Ownership and Attribution Rules: The Current Debate Charles B. Goldfarb Specialist in Telecommunications Policy March 29, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42436 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress c11173008 . The FCC’s Broadcast Media Ownership and Attribution Rules: The Current Debate Summary The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) broadcast media ownership rules, which place restrictions on the number of media outlets that a single entity can own or control in a local market or nationally, are intended to foster the three long-standing goals of U.S. media policy— competition, localism, and diversity of voices. The FCC is statutorily required to review these rules every four years to determine whether they continue to serve the public interest or should be modified or eliminated. One part of these rules, the FCC’s attribution rules, identify criteria for determining when an entity holds sufficient ownership or control of a broadcast station that such ownership or control should be attributed to the entity for the purposes of applying the media ownership rules. The FCC proposes eliminating its Radio/Television Cross-Ownership rule because it is no longer needed to foster the goals of diversity of voices and localism. It also proposes modifying its Newspaper/Broadcast Cross-Ownership rule to allow certain types of combinations in the 20 largest markets. It proposes a technical change in its Local Television Ownership Rule, but otherwise would continue to prohibit ownership of two stations in a local market unless one is not among the four highest-ranked stations in the market and, after the combination, there would still be eight independently owned and operating commercial full-power television stations.
