Pandora Recon Petition on Thursday FCC Meeting 'Consent Agenda'

The "consent agenda" for Thursday's FCC meeting includes consideration of petitions for reconsideration filed by music rights organization American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers against the Media Bureau ruling that Pandora could purchase KXMZ(FM) Box Elder, South Dakota, without having to prove that it isn't majority foreign owned (see 1506020035). The FCC is expected to uphold the bureau's decision, industry officials have told us.
