Indeed, the FCC's relationship to local media is becoming increasingly fraught, to say the least.Ted Striphashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277064012517739981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16745091.post-74699612009435029722007-02-08T17:37:00.000-05:002007-02-08T17:37:00.000-05:00Thanks for the heads up on this.Another issue to b...Thanks for the heads up on this.<BR/><BR/>Another issue to be aware of, by the way, is the current push for media reform laws. With the way that the FCC regulations are structured at the moment, the reforms that are being considered could jeopardize local media stations the same way. A lot of these local stations rely on the companies that own them to stay on the air in markets where they aren't making a large enough profit to operate independently, and without these companies, they could go out of business and off the air.<BR/><BR/>It's something I've been following closely during my time consulting for the NAB, and it's a major concern. The FCC needs to update it's regulations to something more suitable to the current day--their rules are outdated by decades!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
