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.

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.

In an unusually contentious FCC meeting, the FCC adopted rules that
promote Low Power FM ("LPFM") stations seemingly to the detriment of FM
translators and improvements in the facilities of full-power FM
stations. While no formal text of the decision has yet been released,
the Commission did release a Public Notice summarizing its action.
However, given the lack of detail contained in the Notice as to some of
the decisions - including capping at 10 the number of translator
applications from the 2003 FM translator window that one entity can
continue to process and the adoption of an interim policy that would
preclude the processing of full-power FM applications that created
interference that could not be resolved to an existing LPFM station -
it appears that the Press Release was written before these final
details were determined.
