==Media cross ownership==
{{main|Media cross-ownership in the United States}}

Cross ownership also refers to a type of media ownership in which one type of communications (say a newspaper) owns or is the sister company of another type of medium (such as a radio or TV station). One example is ''[[The New York Times]]''{{'}}s former ownership of [[WQXR-FM|WQXR]] Radio, and the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'''s similar relationship with WGN Radio ([[WGN-AM]]) and Television ([[WGN-TV]]).

To prevent one license holder from having too much local media ownership, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] generally does not allow cross ownership unless the license holder obtains a waiver.  Examples include [[News Corporation (1980–2013)|News Corporation]] and the [[Tribune Company]], both in New York.

The mid-1970s cross-ownership guidelines grandfathered already-existing cross ownerships, such as ''Tribune''-WGN, ''New York Times''-WQXR and the ''[[New York Daily News]]'' ownership of [[WPIX]] Television and Radio.
