I won’t be able to attend the town hall meeting, but I would be interested in hearing how the commissioners would respond to the idea that media consolidation actually promotes diversity of voice in the media. In the current market, broadcasters must compete not only amongst one another but also against cable, satellite (both television and radio), and the Internet for the advertising dollars on which they rely. It would seem to me that without the resources afforded by corporate ownership, many of these outfits simply could not afford to continue operating and would be forced to close their doors, resulting in a further loss of independent voices and programming.
Too bad you were not there make your case. It would have been interesting to hear your point after all the testimony to the opposite.
Anyway, I am not hearing anyone say take away the resources of corporate ownership. I only hear calls for corporate responsibility and a fulfillment of the Communications Act
