Activists have argued that broadcasters were using these agreements as a <a href="/wiki/Loophole" title="Loophole">loophole</a> for the FCC's ownership regulations, that they reduce the number of local media outlets in a <a href="/wiki/Media_market" title="Media market">market</a> through the aggregation or outright consolidation of news programming, and allow station owners to have increased leverage in the negotiation of <a href="/wiki/Retransmission_consent" title="Retransmission consent">retransmission consent</a> with local <a href="/wiki/Multichannel_video_programming_distributor" class="mw-redirect" title="Multichannel video programming distributor">subscription television providers</a>.

On March 31, 2014, the commission voted to make joint sales agreements count as ownership if the senior partner sells 15% or more of advertising time for its partner, and to ban coordinated retransmission consent negotiations between two of the top four stations in a market. Wheeler indicated that he planned to address local marketing and shared services agreements in the future.
