Despite public and Congressional pressure, FCC chief Kevin Martin has not yet canceled today's scheduled vote on media ownership. Go to the PIRG backed StopBigMedia.com to take action. Yesterday, Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) along with Chairman Dan Inouye (D-HI) and ranking member Ted Stevens (R-AK) of the Senate Commerce Committee and 22 others sent Martin a letter threatening legislation to reverse any FCC action to weaken the rules today. The Martin proposal would partially lift a longstanding newspaper-television cross-ownership ban in local markets (Washington Post). The ban has helped preserve a media landscape with a diverse set of competing voices providing localized news and comment. The FCC, on a positive note, will at the meeting likely strengthen a cable television ownership cap.
