FCC Prometheus Appeal Granted SCOTUS Cert

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari in the FCC’s appeal of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Prometheus case, said a SCOTUS order Friday morning. The order consolidates the separate appeals of the FCC and NAB, and allots one hour for oral argument. Attorneys have told us that the pending case makes it extremely unlikely that the FCC would issue any orders relating to the 2018 quadrennial review in 2020.
