Chairman Kevin J. Martin proposes that the Commission conclude its
review of the broadcast ownership rules by adopting the regulatory
changes set forth in Attachment A. Chairman Martin proposes the
Commission amend the 32-year-old absolute ban on newspaper/broadcast
cross-ownership by crafting an approach that would allow a newspaper to
own one television station or one radio station but only in the very
largest markets and subject to certain criteria and limitations.
Chairman Martin also proposes that the Commission make no changes to
the other media ownership rules currently under review.

As you are aware, the recording industry is asking congress to support
creation of a new performance “right” that would require local
broadcasters to pay for the use of recordings when aired on the radio.
No matter what terms they use, this would be a new TAX!
For many years, the record labels and performers have prospered greatly
from the free airplay given by local broadcasters. Through this
airplay, the recording industry has enjoyed increased popularity,
visibility and record sales.

The Federal Communications Commission late Tuesday unanimously adopted
rules designed to prevent analog-only cable subscribers from losing
their local TV stations’ signals for three years after the switch to
digital TV occurs Feb. 17, 2009.
The FCC estimates some 40 million TV homes, approximately 35 percent of
the country’s TV universe, are analog-only cable subscribers.
Required by law to make local broadcasters’ primary signals viewable by
all their subscribers, cable operators will be able to choose to either
transmit the digital signal in analog format or assure that all
subscribers have the equipment necessary to view the digital signal.
