FCC Overhaul of Joint Sales Agreements Alive and Well

An overhaul of Joint Sales Agreements regulations could be on the horizon.  TV News Check reports despite of a temporary hold on new regulations the issue is still on the table of  the FCC.  The decision to put the review on hold came from the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council so it can complete a study on how the proposed rules' effects minority ownership and news gathering.  Of course this comes on the heels of Mission Broadcasting purchasing KLRT and KASN.  Nexstar;'s KARK is currently operating both stations.
