Comments on Foreign-Sponsored Content Extended to Jan. 9

The FCC Media Bureau granted an extension on comments on proposals to update foreign-sponsored content rules, said a public notice in Wednesday’s Daily Digest. Comments are now due Jan. 9, replies Jan. 24, in docket 20-299. Comments had been due Dec. 19, replies Jan. 3 (see 2212070062). NAB and the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council requested the extension, which was supported by a group of religious broadcasters. The groups “correctly note that ‘three significant Federal holidays’ occur during the comment cycle,” said the PN. “The Joint Filers have provided sufficient justification to warrant grant of their requested extension.”
