The FCC Media Bureau won’t “just roll over and abandon” its new scrutiny on deals involving sharing agreements and contingent financial arrangements in the face of the NAB’s court challenge (CD May 13 p3), said Wilkinson Barker broadcast attorney David Oxenford in a blog post Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1stwVbH). “The NAB gave the FCC several chances to do so by writing letters stating its objections to the application of the policy, and all were ignored,” Oxenford said. The challenge of the FCC policy will be closely watched by all companies involved in shared services agreements and those with deals involving potential SSAs, said Oxenford.
