Thoughts in line below:

From: EAS [mailto:eas-bounces at radiolists.net] On Behalf Of Mike McCarthy

I saw that too. The question is whether the plaintiff's will take the matter
to the entire panel (en-banc).
>> They could, but there was a clear signal - even from the dissenting judge
- that the matter was unambiguously within the FCC's discretion, and that
the plaintiff's requests were not supported by anything from Congress or the
FCC's own rules.

What does this do to stations needing to report their multi-lingual
operations to their SECC by the end of this month?
>> No impact.  Proceeds as before.

And can someone point me towards the R&O which calls that out?  Management
isn't believing me.
>> See https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-16-32A1.pdf .  They
still may not believe you, lol.
