Media Bureau Approves Amar Broadcasting Foreign-Ownership Request

The Media Bureau granted permission for Amar Broadcasting to exceed the 25% foreign-ownership benchmark, a declaratory ruling in Friday’s Daily Digest said. Amar is the parent company of KNTS (AM) Seattle owner BAAZ, and the ruling allows Canadian citizen Sukhdev Dhillon to own 100% of Amar. No oppositions were filed in response to the petition, the ruling said.
