Big media to FCC: Martin plan is not enough

BIG MEDIA TO FCC: MARTIN PLAN IS NOT ENOUGH
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
While members of Congress are protesting the Federal Communications Commission's likely approval of a newspaper/television station cross-ownership rule this Tuesday, December 18, five big media companies say the proposal does not go far enough. The Sinclair Broadcast Group, Gannett Inc., Media General, Morris Communications, and Clear Channel all say they want even more FCC lenience in buying up media properties. Over the last two weeks these five corporations have lobbied the Commission for further relaxation of its media ownership rules.
