Some company employees have agreed with suggested changes in
FCC regulations that will allow for more mergers overall in the media and TV
industry, permitting consolidation of up to 45% control in a geographic market
prior to the FCC prohibiting further consolidation of media assets. A magazine
editor recently wrote “free TV and pay TV are completely intertwined. A
handfull of corporations own and control the vast majority of both.” The
public relations and lobbying team of some of the other media giants in media
and TV have requested we do not support the FCC’s recommended changes in
congress.
