U.S. Broadcast Media and Telecommunications Commission to decide follow-up action after approving YTN largest shareholder change
The Broadcast Media and Telecommunications Commission is expected to put follow-up administrative measures on the agenda soon over whether its approval of YTN’s largest shareholder change for Eugene ENT was flawed. Many commissioners agreed the approval process had problems, including a decision by a two-member panel, but differed over whether this warrants ex officio cancellation and on timing. Views ranged from calling the approval void or subject to cancellation to urging caution until court rulings and investigations conclude.
