Federal Communications Commission	"FCC  XX-XXX"


STATEMENT OF
CHAIRWOMAN JESSICA ROSENWORCEL

Re: 	In the Matter of Mission Broadcasting, Inc., Licensee of Station WPIX, New York, NY; Nexstar Media Group, Inc., Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture.

Under the Communications Act, as amended by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, the Federal Communications Commission is prohibited from allowing a company to own or control broadcast stations that in total reach more than 39 percent of the national television audience.  The record here reflects a situation where a company exceeds this threshold.  Unless and until Congress changes this law, it is the responsibility of this agency to enforce it.
