“How many know whether or not there will be an unprecedented increase in media concentration if this measure becomes law? Answer: Not many. But does it? Well, the answer is that at a time that we need greater and more diverse media voices, this measure before us will eliminate the national radio and television ownership rules, scale back local concentration rules, and allow corporations to simultaneously control broadcast and cable systems. Disheartening? I think so. Can it be improved? Of course. How do we do it? Send it back to the committee.”
