FCC Deems Nexstar/Media General 'Permit But Disclose'

The FCC said that on ex parte filings on presentations regarding Nexstar buying Media General, it's now deemed a “permit-but-disclose” proceeding where all parties need not be present, said a Media Bureau public notice on docket 16-57. Petitions to deny Nexstar/Media General are due March 18, said the PN in Monday's Daily Digest. The $4.6 billion deal is likely to get agency OK (see 1602020071).
