WASHINGTON, D.C.—As the license renewal for Fox Television Stations’ WTXF-TV attracts more opposition, the FCC has established a public docket and decided to classify the ex parte status of proceedings as “permit but disclose,” a move the agency said “permit broader public participation and thereby serve the public interest.”
Following the April 3 application by Fox Television Stations, LLC to renew the license of station WTXF-TV, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Media and Democracy Project (MAD); Milo Vassallo; John McGinty; Peter Lems; Chenjerai Kumanyika; and Bill Hartman filed a petition on July 3 to deny the Application.
