Is it permissible to contact other mutually exclusive (MX) applicants before the commencement of the 90-day window? I’ve heard about anti-collusion regulations.

In 2019, the FCC revised LPFM rules to allow for discussions regarding time-sharing among members of mutually exclusive (MX) groups before the announcement of tentative selectees. (Refer to FCC Tech Order, paragraphs 35-44)

This adjustment provides MX group members with the chance to deliberate on their circumstances and come to mutually agreeable arrangements.
