The chief executives of Media General Inc. and Gannett Co. lobbied the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to obtain waivers to rules that limit broadcast and newspaper ownership in the same markets.
The FCC approved the waivers Tuesday, which allow Media General to continue running newspapers and TV stations in four markets in the southeast United States, and also allow Gannett to keep assets in Phoenix, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
