Senate Approves Measure to Undo FCC Rules
It still has to get through the House and the White House is expected to veto. But so far so good. MoveOn.Org claims to have played an integral part in spreading awareness. I sent off a little note to my Congresspeople.
A refresher:
On June 2, the FCC passed new rules that allow a newspaper to buy a television station in the same city or vice versa, combinations known as “cross-ownership.” Also, the new rules let a broadcast network, such as ABC and Fox, own a group of stations that reach up to 45 percent of the national audience, up from 35 percent, the current “national cap.” They allow one media company to own more than one station in many cities. Finally, the new rules tighten radio ownership rules, essentially capping national radio consolidation.
