More on Media Consolidation

Posted by michael on from the and-then-there-was-one dept.

A few more links on the important FCC decision coming up in a few weeks (see our previous story for more). Common Cause has a good set of background information and advocacy. The Washington Post has a story about the decision, focusing on how independent television stations will be squeezed even harder. This article about ClearChannel is a useful primer about the future of mass media.

    THIS is what gets a "+5 Funny" these days??? A link to a mildly amusing political cartoon?

    Damn, I wish I still had my moderation points from earlier this week because I'd be rating the parent post up in a heartbeat. You sir, are 110% correct. It's a shame more people don't see it.

    I've heard everything from bluegrass to Dave Matthews Band on this station. They're run out of a small community college in Spindale, NC. Like no other station on the air. I just wish they had a more powerful transmitter.

    As for opening up the spectrum: Some of us still have analog radios in our cars. I am roughly equdistant between 3 stations, two of which I listen to frequently: 103.7, 103.9, & 104.1. I'll go around a curve and the station will change on me! There needs to be some separation between the stations.
