As expected, the FCC's media Bureau has denied the National Association of Broadcasters request that it delay implementation of its political file online reporting rules until a federal court hears NAB's challenge to those rules.
The FCC voted in April to require the Big Four network affiliates in the top 50 markets to send the FCC their files, including spot prices and who bought the spots, to the FCC for posting online for all to see. The balance of TV stations must follow suit two years from now, after the FCC has vetted the regime, and sought comment, a year in.
