Over the last 15 years, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) has repeatedly proposed rules to deregulate media ownership in an effort to help broadcasters better compete with internet content providers and other new competitors through consolidation. The same panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has reviewed the FCC's proposed rules multiple times, and has stayed and remanded many of the FCC's proposed rule changes. As both the Third Circuit and the FCC have observed, even after 15 years, further litigation over the FCC's broadcast media ownership rules appears likely. Conclusion Assuming that the FCC goes back (again) to the drawing board, it remains to be seen whether the FCC's future efforts at revamping its broadcast media ownership rules will have greater success or will be relegated by the courts to yet another spin of the wheel.
