JSAs Must Be Filed With FCC by Nov. 28

Parties to attributable TV joint sales agreements must file copies of them with the FCC by Nov. 28, the Media Bureau said in a Public Notice Tuesday. The Office of Management and the Budget Tuesday approved the commission’s new filing requirements for JSAs, which are part of its new rules (see 1404010037) making any same-market TV JSA where one station accounts for more than 15 percent of the other’s weekly advertising time attributable under ownership rules. Along with the Nov. 28 filing deadline for existing attributable JSAs, parties that enter into JSAs in the future must file with the FCC 30 days after doing so, the PN said. The rule change gives existing JSAs until June 19, 2016, to be unwound before the new attribution rules take effect.
