Abstract
As this issue went to press, the FCC was receiving advice from all quarters on how best to change (or, as some hope, rescind) the so‐called “Prime‐Time Rule” restricting local TV station use of network programming in key evening hours. In the following article, the authors suggest that the desired increase in program variety is unlikely to result from the FCC rule as it doesn't get to the cause of program duplication. Dr. Hall received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and is presently on the economics faculty at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago while Dr. Batlivala earned his Ph.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology and is now part of the financial department of Standard Oil of Indiana.
