A U.S. appeals court blocked the FCC's plan to extend discounted broadcast TV advertising rates to political parties and joint fundraising committees ahead of the November midterms, citing campaign finance laws.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tighter rules on political ad discounts that cut Republican advertising advantages before the midterms. Adjust your campaign spending plans now as the door to discounted party ads just shut.
