Brad Deutsch was quoted in Radio World in an article discussing the FCC’s inability to auction unused radio frequencies, known as “spectrum,” in the telecom industry. The FCC’s authority to auction spectrum expired nearly two years ago, and Congress has yet to extend it.
Brad remarked, “There simply isn’t much broadcast spectrum out there to auction off. And, perhaps more importantly, there isn’t too much demand…That said, if the broadcast multiple ownership limits, and especially the radio subcaps, were to loosen, which some folks are suggesting might happen under the Trump administration, that might produce some new demand.”
Read the full article in this month’s edition of Radio World (pp. 5-8).
