PaidContent: The NAB has filed a petition (warning: PDF) with the FCC to deny the transfer of WCS licenses to XM Satellite Radio or at the very least to remove XM’s application for the licenses from “streamlined” consideration. This isn’t the first time the NAB has whined about the WCS deal, last month NAB Prez Eddie Fritz wrote a nasty-gram to the FCC.

It’s been speculated that the WCS acquisition would allow XM to expand its local traffic and weather data services, launch a video service, or add additional satellite-radio stations targeted to certain markets.

The NAB as a result has cried foul, claiming that the local and regional wireless spectrum licenses that XM will be getting is contrary to XM’s FCC license. XM fired back a couple weeks ago calling out the NAB for just wanting to stifle competition.
