Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedDuopoly rule waived in Iowa case. (sale of Iowa State University's WOI-TV) (Brief Article)
Broadcasting & Cable, December, 1993 by Zier, Julie A.
The FCC granted the $12.7 million sale of Iowa State University's WOI-TV Ames, Iowa, to Philip Lombardo, waiving the TV duopoly rule that prohibits common ownership of two stations with overlapping signals. Lombardo also owns KCAU-TV in nearby Sioux City, Iowa. The FCC unanimously ruled that the overlap was minimal (FCC Chairman Reed Hundt abstained).
In a prepared statement, Commissioner Andrew Barrett expressed reservations about the waiver, saying, "Despite my misgivings, the circumstances in this case sufficiently mirror past de minimis matters."
