NAB’s original support of the 35% TV audience cap has spurred several network defections from the trade association. ABC was the most recent network to withdraw from membership, pulling both its TV and radio stations out of membership over the issue as Viacom/Infinity had done earlier. Asked whether NAB is in discussions with the networks about coming back into membership, Fritts said, “No discussions are going on about the networks coming back.”
Fritts said the next board discussion of the FCC’s new media ownership rules is set for July 28.
