Approval comes with set of conditions.

Cox Communications is not holding its peace about the $4.6 billion marriage of Nexstar and Media General, announced in September and consummated yesterday.

The FCC is sticking with most of the stuff on the books with the final version of its catalog of covered expenses in the broadcasters’ transition to new spectrum in the post-incentive auction repack, denying most of the tweaks proposed by commenters.

The holds issued by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on the re-nomination of Democratic FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel have been lifted.

Following some major pushback against the set-top revamp proposal from FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, the proposal has been removed from the September Open Meeting agenda after not securing the necessary three votes.

The next step in the broadcast incentive auction looks to be about four weeks away, according to the FCC’s public notice on the forward auction.

The FCC has issued a new price list for the post-incentive auction TV and MVPD equipment for which it will potentially foot the bill, using the $1.75 billion relocation fund established by Congress.

The White House’s proposed budget could very well bring some cuts to the FCC, financially and in terms of staff.
