Some four dozen legislators led by Maxine Waters (D-CA) have called on the Federal Communications Commission to hold multiple hearings on the Comcast/NBCU merger and require the companies to answer many questions, primarily on diversity issues. The members, many from the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses, said the companies' diversity, labor and community relations efforts need to be "fully reviewed" before the FCC can pass judgment on the proposed $30 billion joint venture.
