PUBLIC HEARING ON MEDIA OWNERSHIP IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
The Federal Communications Commission announced that the second public hearing on media ownership issues will be held in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday, December 11, 2006. At the Commission's first public hearing in Los Angeles, the FCC heard from a large number of citizens about the current state of the media and specific issues facing that local market. Similarly, this second hearing will provide an opportunity for those in the Nashville area to broadly discuss media ownership issues as well as those of concern to their community. Further details on the public hearing will be released at a later date. Commissioner Deborah Tate said, "I am extremely pleased by the announcement that the Federal Communications Commission will hold its second media ownership hearing in Nashville, my hometown, next month. Known as "Music City, USA" because of its vibrant entertainment industry, Nashville is home to some of the greatest songwriters and musicians in the world. It is hard to think of a more appropriate location for discussing how the Commission's rules may affect these artists and their audience. I look forward to hearing from the music industry, the media, and the public."
