2018 Quadrennial Review Order Effective March 18

The 2018 quadrennial review’s extension of the top-four prohibition to include low-power TV stations and multicast channels takes effect March 18, the FCC said in a public notice in Friday’s Daily Digest. The order was published in the Federal Register Thursday, which means the 60-day clock for entities to challenge the rule in the courts has begun. It is widely expected that NAB will bring a challenge before the deadline (see 2401020042).
