NAB CEO Gordon Smith told FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel Monday about the association’s concerns on a new TV station resource-sharing attribution order and that agency staff shouldn’t change Office of Engineering and Technology bulletin 69 on predicting a TV licensee’s coverage area. Another new FCC item, adopted March 31 along with the sharing order, asked about changing network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity rules (CD April 1 p11) (http://fcc.us/1hXNQBE). Those rules serve the public interest by promoting localism, Smith and another NAB executive told Rosenworcel and an aide, according to an ex parte filing posted Thursday in docket 14-50 (http://bit.ly/1hXOijn).
