The FCC Media Bureau extended the comment deadline for the proceeding on whether to eliminate or modify broadcast network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity rules. Comments are due June 26, replies July 24, the FCC said in a public notice (http://bit.ly/1txWgVj). The deadline originally was May 12 (CD April 11 p15). NAB requested an extension to do needed research and analysis (CD April 21 p17). The bureau believes granting NAB’s request “is necessary to facilitate the development of a full record,” it said.
