This is addressed by the above suggestion. It lets them take a job with ABC or Time Warner, just not Comcast/NBC.


Sorry, no. The FCC has been pushing a relaxation of media ownership rules that benefits the whole industry and has the active support of both ABC and Time Warner. (Active up to and including the level of buying newspaper ads to sway people towards their position that the FCC should be allowed to do this.) That fact would bar people in the FCC from working in the entire industry if the proposed anti-corruption rule were in place.

If you look farther, I am sure that more specific rulings in favor of ABC and Time Warner can be found. Let's see. For instance see http://seekingalpha.com/article/119975-time-warner-cable-fcc... in favor of Time Warner.
