    Repeal of Baseball's Longstanding Antitrust Exemption: Did Congress Strike out Again? INTRODUCrION "Baseball is everybody's business."' We have just witnessed the conclusion of perhaps the greatest baseball season in the history of the game. Not one, but two men broke the "unbreakable" record of sixty-one home-runs set by New York Yankee great Roger Maris in 1961;2 four men hit over fifty home-runs, a number that had only been surpassed fifteen times in the past fifty-six years,3 while thirty-three players hit over thirty home runs;4 Barry Bonds became the only player to record 400 home-runs and 400 stolen bases in a career;5 and Alex Rodriguez, a twenty-three-year-old shortstop, joined Bonds and Jose Canseco as one of only three men to have recorded forty home-runs and forty stolen bases in a 6 single season. This was not only an offensive explosion either. A twenty- year-old struck out twenty batters in a game, the record for a nine inning 7 game; a perfect game was pitched;' and Roger Clemens of the Toronto Blue Jays won his unprecedented fifth Cy Young award.9 Also, the Yankees won 1. Flood v. Kuhn, 309 F. Supp. 793, 797 (S.D.N.Y. 1970). 2. Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs and Sammy Sosa hit 66. Frederick C. Klein, There Was More to the Baseball Season Than McGwire, WALL ST.

ID No. 68853) ) CSR-8920-N Mankato, Minnesota ) Docket 16-54 ) Petition for Waiver of Sections 7 6.92(f) ) and 76.106(a) of the Commission’s Rules ) To: Chief, Media Bureau SUPPLEMENT TO PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF of UNITED COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION Barry D. Wood Ronald D. Maines WOOD HARDY & MARTIN, P.C. 3300 Fairfax Drive, Suite 202 Arlington, Virginia 22201 (703) 465-2361 Its counsel August 10, 2017 SUMMARY United Communications Corporation is the licensee of KEYC-TV, the CBS affiliate in Mankato, Minnesota. Pending before the Commission is United’s petition for a waiver of the significantly viewed exception to the network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity rules. The matter involves four out-of-market television stations listed as significantly viewed in cable communities throughout KEYC- TV’s market. Three of the stations are licensed to Minneapolis or St. Paul, Minnesota (“the Twin Cities Distant Stations”). The fourth – KAAL – is licensed to Austin, Minnesota. Viewership statistics for the distant stations were generated by The Nielsen Company. The cases for which Nielsen statistics indicated a loss of significantly viewed status were set forth in the petition. The Nielsen results as a whole, however, were perplexing. The surveys registered viewership in communities outside of the possible transmission ranges of the Twin Cities Distant Stations. A station should not be credited with viewership – significant or otherwise – in a community if its signal is not viewable over-the-air in that community. In such event, Nielsen studies should reflect zero viewership.
