Looks like it didn't get passed - due to opposition!

From wiki.
"The FCC in 2007 voted to modestly relax its existing ban on newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership.[25] The FCC voted December 18, 2007 to eliminate some media ownership rules, including a statute that forbids a single company to own both a newspaper and a television or radio station in the same city. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin circulated the plan in October 2007"

"During mid-2014 and up to early 2015, the FCC, along with US Congress and the United States' Department of Justice, repeatedly voiced its opposition to a merger that was officially proposed by Comcast in January 2014 and would have led to a fusion of Time Warner and Comcast in order to form an enormously high-profile conglomerate with widespread influence across the US market. Comcast finally cancelled the merger proposition in May 2015."
