TV Broadcasters Sue Over FCC Auction of Airwaves - WSJ: The National Association of Broadcasters has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission's auction of TV spectrum.
One might argue what NAB really seeks is an increase in the amount of money the FCC will provide to broadcasters who have to move from present frequencies to others.
The FCC plans to hold a "reverse auction" in 2015, where TV stations in large cities will take bids to give up their airwaves.
Stations that take part in the auction can either go out of business or move to another channel. And that might be the issue. By suing, NAB might hope to induce the FCC to increase funds provided to broadcasters who must move to new channels, in exchange for dropping the lawsuit.
