* NAB Wants FCC To ID Media Ownership Open Mikers
In a letter to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin Thursday, NAB President David Rehr said that while the "NAB believes that comments from local viewers and listeners are the most relevant and valuable to the Commission," it also believes those comments should be verifiability local. "One way to improve the dialog and ensure all Americans have the opportunity to provide their viewpoints," Rehr wrote,"would be to have all individuals wanting to provide their personal opinions to the Commission identify the city or town where they reside. Making this simple procedure a standard part of these hearings will enhance the record of the Commission, and will also help ensure that the Commissioners hear from viewers and listeners who actually receive service from stations in the local markets where the hearings are being conducted," Rehr wrote.
