Broadcasters Take FCC to Court Over Political Ad Disclosure Rule
NAB alleges rule is 'arbitrary and capricious'
Broadcasters wasted no time challenging the Federal Communications Commission's recent rule requiring TV stations to put their political advertising files online.
The National Association of Broadcasters filed an appeal in the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia yesterday, asking that the court review the rule.
