WEB_ Yolanda Hippensteele Interview .mp3
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin let slip this week that he's ready to move forward with a vote on media ownership issues - as early as mid-December. He thinks he's got the votes to further relax ownership regulations, rather than tighten them to prevent more ownership consolidation, and, he's proposing to scrap the regulations that prevent one company from owning both tv/radio stations and newspapers in the same market, something that would have a direct impact on Chicago's own Tribune Company.
Yolanda Hippensteele of the media non-profit Free Press joins us to talk about the significance of this news and how it relates to the hearings the FCC held in Chicago in September.
