This is the first time the ownership rule for local TV stations has been modified in more than two decades.

(Illustration: Broly Su / AJC)

For decades, the federal government has limited the total reach a single television broadcaster can have across the country, a cap intended to promote competition, encourage local programming and the airing of diverse viewpoints.

On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission voted 2-1 to repeal the cap and replace it with a new standard of review. The decision could clear the way for broadcasters ― including those in Atlanta ― to acquire more local stations as they compete with streaming services, national networks and tech giants for consumers’ attention and advertising dollars.

Now gone is the rule restricting a single group from owning television stations reaching more than 39% of U.S. households, the first time the FCC has touched the cap in more than 20 years.
