2019: A YEAR OF CONCERNS FOR BROADCASTERS?

The midterm general election came and went this week leaving behind a split on Capitol Hill and a few items that broadcasters may want to keep an eye on. The lame duck session, which begins in January, will likely see radio station owner and Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR) turn over control of the Energy and Commerce Committee to Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ). Walden has long been an outspoken advocate for broadcasters and will no longer hold the gavel for a Committee that has oversight of the Federal Communications Commission. This could cause some issues as the Democrats promise more oversight in regards to the Commission, ahead of the upcoming quadrennial review. It will also be interesting to see if there will be a push to undo the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality regulations adopted during the Obama administration.
In other news, Mike Doyle (D-PA) is poised to succeed Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as the Chairman of the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee. While Rep. Doyle has supported low power FM, he’s also suggested that pirate stations potentially could offer some segments of the community an outlet to express themselves.
The Local Radio Freedom Act will again be front and center for the February DC fly-in. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is expected to take the reins as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which would better position him to push through legislation, if enacted, that would create a performance royalty on radio airplay.
Even though these changes give some heartburn to broadcasters, in an interview with
Inside Radio
before voting began, Gordon Smith, President & CEO of the NAB, said he didn’t think the outcome of Election Day would pose significant hurdles for radio or television. “Our issues are not Republican or Democratic,” he said, adding, “I think we’re going to be positioned just fine.”
