Slog - Comments on Media Consolidation Hearings Next Friday at Town Hall http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/media_consolidation_hearings_next_friday The FCC is holding a public hearing on rule changes that would allow more media cross ownership and consolidation. For example, the new rules would allow one company to own a newspaper, TV station, and radio station in the same market.
