[SOURCE: Democracy Now]
As the FCC begins its investigation of WHNT in Alabama, Democracy Now takes a look at the only time a TV station had its license revoked for failing to serve the public interest. The station, WLBT in Jackson, Mississippi, first came under scrutiny by the Office of Communication of the United Church of Christ. The Office was founded and headed up by media activist Everett Parker.
