Media Ownership Rules

It turns out that I'm not the only one that notices when the F.C.C. talks about changing media ownership rules. From Inside Radio...

"FCC gets earful on its proposed ownership rules. The issue that brought all five FCC commissioners before the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology yesterday wasn’t media ownership. But the thorny subject was a recurring theme during a hearing about the FCC’s new broadband spectrum law. Subcommittee members continually brought up the commission’s controversial media ownership rules, which would abolish the radio-TV and radio-newspaper cross-ownership limit."

Nobody wants this except the big media companies (who constantly ask the F.C.C. for this). Nobody.
