The UHF discount is back, the national audience reach cap is on the table, noncommercial TV stations can do third-party fundraisers and the members of their governing boards can keep their private data to themselves.

A vote has been scheduled for a review of the 39 percent national TV station audience reach cap, aka national cap, per a statement from FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.

In an opening brief filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the FCC laid out its claim that it was reasonable to reinstate the UHF discount immediately while it considers adjusting the national audience reach cap.

UHF discount means that only half of a UHF TV station's audience counts towards the 39% national ownership cap.

Says FCC should retain 39 percent cap but adjust for 'artificially presumed reach' of all stations

It could allow Sinclair's proposed merger with Tribune to go through even if a court decision ultimately reverses the FCC's UHF discount decision.

Will not include national ownership cap or UHF discount.
