Prometheus Radio Project v. FCC , 373 F. 3d 372 3d Cir. 2004 was a case heard and adjudicated by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in 2003 and 2004. The majority ruled 2 1 to throw out the attempt by the Federal Communications Commission FCC to raise the limits of cross ownership of media. They ruled that a diversity index used by the FCC to weigh cross ownership of radio, television and newspapers employed several irrational assumptions and inconsistencies. Dissent by Chief Judge Anthony Joseph Scirica noted that the majority were simply employing their own assumptions. The Supreme Court of the United States Supreme Court later turned down an appeal, so the decision stands. The FCC was ordered to reconfigure how it justifies raising ownership limits.
