No FCC Review of AT&T/TW Foreseen, Pai Says

The FCC still hasn't received an assignment or transfer application for AT&T's proposed buy of Time Warner, and assumes it won't since there are reportedly no license transfers that would trigger an agency review, Chairman Ajit Pai wrote Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., in a letter dated Jan. 3 and posted Friday. The letter was in response to a Maloney letter received Oct. 23 raising concerns about diverse programming.
