FCC Grants Fox Another Temporary Waiver for WWOR-TV/New York Post

Media Bureau opts for preserving status quo pending resolution of broadcast dereg case in Supreme Court

In this case WWOR-TV waiver is connected to the Murdoch's ownership to the New York Post as its connection to the waiver.

Pointing out that the fate of its newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership rule is in legal limbo, the FCC's Media Bureau has denied Fox Corp.'s request for a permanent waiver to own both WWOR-TV Secaucus, N.J. and the New York Post, instead granting it another temporary waiver.

The bureau said that was the best way to avoid "hastily requiring a divestiture that might prove unnecessary or authorizing a permanent combination while regulatory uncertainty remains over the status of the newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership rule."

The waiver issue was one of the FCC items folks were looking to be resolved before the new Administration takes over Jan. 20.
