SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of the Public Notice
1. On May 30, 2013, the Minority
Media and Telecommunications
Council (MMTC) submitted a study by
Fratrik, Dr. Mark R., Vice President and
Chief Economist, BIA/Kelsey, entitled
The Impact of Cross Media Ownership
on Minority/Women Owned Broadcast
Stations (the Study) in the abovereferenced dockets. According to
MMTC, the Study examines whether,
and to what extent, cross-ownership
might have a material adverse impact on
minority and women ownership of
commercial broadcast stations. MMTC
suggests that the Commission seek
public comment regarding the extent to
which the Study may or should be
relied on by the Commission in the
ongoing media ownership and diversity
proceedings.
2. The Media Bureau invites public
comment on the Study from interested
parties. The complete text of the Study
dated May 30, 2013, is as follows:

The Impact of Cross Media Ownership
on Minority/Women Owned Broadcast
Stations
Executive Summary
3. The marketplace in which local
radio and television stations, as well as
local newspapers has changed quite
dramatically in the past few years.
Competition for audiences as well as for
local advertisers has noticeably
increased. At the same time, these
traditional media are still important
players in the advertising marketplace
and the provision of news and
entertainment to their local
communities.
4. The regulations governing the
ownership of these traditional media
have changed too, though the ban on
broadcast-newspaper local ownership is
still in place. Many analysts have
examined the continuance of that ban
and relaxing other local broadcast
ownership rules on the impact on
competition and the provision of
diverse viewpoints. There has not been
any specific study on the impact of
relaxing these local cross-ownership
rules on the impact on minority and/or
women owned broadcasters.
5. In this study we focus in on that
research question—whether the
existence of a commonly owned crossmedia operation has a disparate impact
on minority and/or women owned
broadcast stations. Specifically, we
surveyed both minority and/or women
owned broadcast stations in markets
with cross-media operations along with
non-minority/non-women owned
broadcast stations in the same markets.
In that survey we asked respondents in
several different ways to offer their
views on the importance of these local
cross-media operations. We wanted to
see if there was a difference in the
responses of the two groups of stations
of these cross-media operations.
