The nice folks at the Federal Communications Commission are holding one of their "Localism Task Force" hearings in San Antonio on January 28th. The Localism Task Force was created in response to the outcry from the right and left after the FCC eased broadcast ownership rules. FCC Commissioner Michael "Mercedes Divide" Powell decided that locally-owned-and-operated media might be a good thing after all, and the FCC should study it as the media industry consolidates further. Clear Channel Communications, one of the prime beneficiaries of the easing of radio ownership restrictions 1996, is based in San Antonio, and I'm sure its no coincidence that Powell's posse decided to have a meeting there.
