Statement of FCC Acting Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn on
Increasing Access to Capital for the Broadcast Industry
“Today, I circulated a declaratory ruling that clears the way for increased access to capital and potential 
new investors for the broadcast sector. Approval of this item will clarify the Commission’s intention to 
review, on a case-by-case basis, proposed transactions that would exceed the 25 percent benchmark that 
restricts foreign ownership in companies holding broadcast licenses. I look forward to working with my 
colleagues toward a final Commission vote next month.”
