thanks!

You're welcome.

Yes, you are correct. The government agency responsible for limiting the number of radio and television stations a single company can own is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which was established by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The FCC is an independent agency of the United States government, and its main purpose is to regulate interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. One of its responsibilities is to prevent media consolidation and promote diversity in the broadcast industry by setting ownership limits and rules for companies that operate radio and television stations.
