NAB: Flagging ‘unjustified’

What does NAB think about the commission’s efforts to break the logjam on radio transactions?
“Chairman Powell and the FCC have done the right thing today in trying to bring an end to the commission’s confusing and uncertain standards for dealing with radio mergers,” stated EVP Jeff Baumann.
“It is disappointing, however, that the FCC plans to keep in the interim the ‘flagging’ process that has resulted in long delays for hundreds of transfer application that meet all applicable standards. We hope the commission acts quickly to eliminate this unjustified procedure.”
