FCC Clarifies Application of the Multiple Ownership Rules After the Digital Transition Makes the Grade A Contour Disappear
The FCC's rules limiting the common ownership of radio and television stations, and of television stations and daily newspapers , are triggered by the Grade A contours of the television station encompassing the city of license of the radio station, or the city in which the newspaper is published.

The Commission had begun accepting applications for new digital LPTV stations in so-called rural areas beginning in late August, and had previously announced that it intended to expand the first-come, first-served filing opportunity to the rest of the country starting January 25, 2010.
