Anniston Broadcasting Company and Owosso Broadcasting Company, Inc., petition this court for review1 of a Memorandum Opinion and Order of the Federal Communications Commission (Commission),2 denying their petitions for waiver of sections 73.35, 73.240, and 73.636 of the Commission's Rules, which require divestiture of newspaper-broadcast combinations which constitute effective monopolies over their communities' media.
