The NAB has asked the FCC to reconsider its decision to reinstate the FM Duplication Rule, finalized in June 2024, which restricts commercial FM stations from having more than 25% overlapping content. The NAB argues that the FCC reversed its previous judgment without proper research or justification, ignoring changes in the broadcasting landscape since the rule’s repeal in 2020. While AM stations are exempt, the rule aims to promote diversity and prevent monopolistic practices. The NAB urges the FCC to reopen the issue for comments, seeking a transparent, evidence-based decision-making process. FM stations must comply by February 3, 2025.
