The FCC voted 2-1 to repeal the national cap on TV station ownership, removing a 39% ownership limit and replacing it with case-by-case reviews, potentially accelerating media consolidation in the US broadcast sector.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Media Tech, and 7 sources have reported it between 6 Aug 2026 and 13 Aug 2026.
