According to an FCC spokeswoman, the Commission will not vote on the compromise kids DTV rule proposal at its March 17 meeting, but will instead open up the deal for public comment. No word on how long the comment period would be. The commission is widely expected to eventually OK some version of the deal, which heads off lawsuits filed by both kids-TV activists and media companies. The NAB board has already voted to support the agreement.
