DISSENTING STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER GLORIA TRISTANI

In the Matter of Amendment of Section 73.658(g) of the Commission's Rules--The Dual
Network Rule--MM Docket No. 00-108

For the reasons noted in my partial dissent accompanying the 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review (copy attached), I dissent from the majority's tentative conclusion that the dual network rule should be modified to permit ABC, CBS, Fox, or NBC to combine with UPN or WB. I therefore do not support the issuance of this NPRM.
