FCC: The Battle In

Seattle is ready for the FCC, but is the FCC ready for Seattle? The
Federal Communications Commission has scheduled its final public
hearing on media ownership in one of the strongholds of the media
democracy movement. The hearing will clear the way for the FCC to make
dramatic increases in the amount of broadcast and print media one
company can own. The hearing has been called on five business days'
notice, prompting a sharp critique from the Commission's Democratic
minority, who wrote: "Clearly, the rush is on to push media
consolidation to a quick and ill-considered vote. It shows there is a
preordained outcome." Larry Bensky hosts live coverage of the protests
in the streets and the hearing chamber, with expert guests and listener
