failing stations, in which they no longer had to post notice of the station's availability to out-of-market buyers. The majority did not believe that the FCC had adequately described its reasoning for the change, and stated their belief if would hurt minority ownership of media. They asked that along with a detailed explanation, a report on the impact of minority ownership be submitted. The Court also did not agree with the numerical limits imposed in the ownership. The premise of the equal share assumption was attacked, but its application in determining the situations where duopolies vs. triopolies are permitted created inconsistencies in which markets already saturated past the FCC's stated permissible rate would now legally become even more saturated. The inconsistencies caused by the specific numerical limits caused them to be remanded for reconsideration. IV. Local radio ownership rule In the 1950, Petitioners challenged the FCC's change to local radio ownership rules, limiting the number of stations a company may own in different sized markets, as well as retaining specific numerical limits. The court affirmed the decision to change the rules, but remanded the specific numerical limits, since it believed the specific numbers to be arbitrary. The decision to change the definition of local markets to a geography based system was supported by the Court. Despite attacks that the geography based system shrunk the size of markets, thus reducing the number of stations permitted, as well as that the inclusion of non-commercial stations made markets larger and allowed more stations to be owned, the court determined that the FCC justified its position in both regards, and that their justifications were sufficient. While the numerical limits for ownership were supported by the court, the fact that they simply retained the existing numerical limits was not. Both sides had issue with this, as the believed that it did not follow the reasoning of other steps the commission took, nor fit the mission of establishing five equal sized ownership groups for competitive reasons. The court remanded this decision, and asked for additional justification. The court also remanded the very thinking of the goal to achieve five equal sized competitors. It agreed both with the deregulation groups that claimed that evidence showed no actual or potential for equal sized competitors, as well as the Citizen Petitioners who showed that five competitors was incongruent with the Department of Justice's definition of competition. Since the FCC
