(2) a series of oneminute viewpoint segments to be broadcast during children's programming; (3) a 30minute news magazine for children ages 12 to 16 on "hard" news issues; (4) improved programming on parenting and children; and (5) public service campaigns concerning important local issues and public safety, emphasizing child safety. While these various benefits will arise from common ownership of the SunSentinel and WDZL(TV), Tribune states that the newspaper and the station will continue to be managed and operated separately, with separate editorial control. Because these benefits will enhance programming diversity in, and will be provided without decreasing the competitiveness of, the South Florida market, Tribune asserts that its requested waiver of the crossownership rule is warranted under the Commission's existing standards.   Finally, Tribune asserts that any denial of a permanent waiver and strict application of the crossownership rule would be inconsistent with the Commission's obligations under Bechtel v. FCC, 10 F.3d 875 (D.C. Cir. 1993), to ensure that its actions are compatible with the realities of today's marketplace, and would as well be contrary to the First Amendment. According to Tribune, the constitutionality of the newspaper crossownership rule depends on continued scarcity and lack of diversity in the video programming market. Tribune argues that there is no longer scarcity in either the national or in the South Florida markets for video programming, due to the increases in the number of modes of delivery of video programming and in the amount of local programming that viewers typically receive. In light of the weakened scarcity rationale, Tribune asserts that the crossownership rule would be subject to heightened First Amendment scrutiny, which it would not survive because the rule is not narrowly tailored to further an important or substantial governmental interest unrelated to the suppression of free speech.  KnightRidder's Petition to Deny. KnightRidder, owner of the Miami Herald, opposes the application to transfer WDZL(TV) in so far as the application seeks a permanent waiver (or a waiver of indefinite duration pending a rulemaking) to permit Tribune to own both WDZL(TV) and the SunSentinel. KnightRidder argues that Tribune's request does not meet, for two primary reasons, the rigorous standards for permanent waiver of the newspaper crossownership rule. First, the benefits identified by Tribune resulting from common ownership of WDZL(TV) and the SunSentinel are of the type that the Commission has stated in previous cases it will not consider in justifying waiver of the crossownership rule. Second, Tribune has failed to meet the Commission's standards for demonstrating that the proposed waiver would not have anticompetitive effects because Tribune inappropriately focused its economic analysis on a multicounty area, rather than on the city or county in which the SunSentinel is published. KnightRidder additionally asserts that any changes to the crossownership rule should be effected through a formal rulemaking proceeding, particularly as the arguments presented by Tribune challenge the general economic and constitutional merits of the rule. According to KnightRidder, amending the crossownership rule in a piecemeal manner by granting individual waiver requests, as Tribune urges, would have several undesirable consequences.IX` hp x (#%'0*,.8135@8:
