The appeal of the FCC's latest attempt to lift reasonable limits on ownership of media will be heard in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, the same court which found the FCC's prior attempt to lift media ownership limits "arbitrary and capricious" and contrary to law.

Media Ownership Challenge Moved To Third Circuit - 11/4/2008 3:00:00 PM - Broadcasting & Cable.
