Comments due Aug. 29 on FCC Nielsen NPRM

Comments are due Aug.29, replies Sept. 26, on the FCC’s NPRM on changing language in its rules referring to a now-defunct Nielsen publication, said a Federal Register notice for Thursday. Under current rules, broadcasters and MVPDs use Nielsen’s Station Index Directory to determine designated market areas, but Nielsen no longer publishes the directory, which it replaced with a monthly Local TV Station Information Report.
