The National Association of Broadcasters has filed its initial brief in its challenge to the FCC’s local radio and television ownership restrictions.

NAB’s brief succinctly demonstrates to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit that the FCC has failed to justify that these rules remain necessary to serve the public in light of the immense competition broadcasters face in today’s media marketplace.”
