The FCC’s sixth and final public hearings on media ownership related to the 2006 Quadrennial Broadcast Media Ownership Review is set for November 9 in Seattle.
The short notice was criticized by FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein: “It shows there is a preordained outcome,” they said in a statement. Copps and Adelstein are the only two Democrats on the five-member board.
Earlier hearings were held in Los Angeles, on October 3, 2006; in Nashville, on December 11, 2006; in Harrisburg, on February 23; in Tampa, on April 30; in Chicago, on September 20: and in Washington, D.C., on October 31.
