UPN, WB to merge (affect on 38, 56?)

[Doug Drown]

I'm asking this question as a layman: Given that CBS and Time Warner will
co-own the CW; that Hearst, NBC and ABC co-own A&E, etc.; does the FCC allow
for joint ownership or majority/minority ownership of broadcasting stations?
I think I read years ago that there was some sort of relationship between
the Hildreth stations in Maine and LIN Broadcasting, but I may be wrong.
