Answer :
A), The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed media consolidation by reducing the restrictions on the number of radio and television stations a company could own.
This legislation brought significant changes to the radio and television industries by dropping the limits on the number of radio and television stations a single company could own. It also allowed networks to purchase large numbers of cable stations, leading to greater media consolidation and conglomeration. Although intended to foster competition, the Act actually resulted in less diversity and higher prices, as noted by critics like Common Cause.
