WASHINGTON, D.C.—The FCC has issued a Memorandum and Order approving a deal between Gray Television and Marquee Broadcasting that would transfer station licenses to Marquee and transfer an unbuilt construction permit from Marquee to Gray.
The application was unopposed. The FCC ruling will allow Marquee to own two top-four network affiliations in the Cheyenne-Scottsbluff Nielsen Designated Market Area. The Local Television Ownership Rule generally prohibits top-four combinations in a market, including the transfer or assignment of ownership of multiple top-four affiliated program streams serving a single DMA.
