This afternoon, the Commission released an Order extending the time to comment in the recently re-opened multiple ownership rule making proceeding until October 23, 2006.  The comment deadline had been set for this Friday, September 22nd, but at the request of ION Media Networks, Inc. and others, the Commission decided to extend the time for filing comments by a month.  In addition, the deadline for Reply Comments in the proceeding have been pushed back and are now due by December 21, 2006. 

Based on Senator Barbara Boxer's recent revelations of suppressed internal FCC reports on multiple ownership issues, the extra time will not only allow interested third-parties more time to comment in the proceeding, it will also give the FCC time to consider what, if any, additional information it will add to the record itself.
