WASHINGTON, D.C.—Fox’s lawyers have strongly pushed back against an effort to block the license renewal of its WTXY-TV station in Philadelphia with a letter urging the FCC to renew the license “without delay.”
In a Dec. 4 letter to the FCC, lawyers for Fox, which owns the station, called the challenges to the license renewal a “misuse of a license renewal proceeding” that is designed “to air civil grievances of the type that the Commission long ago decided were not germane to its responsibilities under Sections 309(d) and (k) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.”
