Really Craig? This soon after I posted the Chairman's speech to the NAB, with
talk about localism and ending the local studio rule, you already forgot all of
this?
Refresh your memory:
https://www.freelists.org/post/opendtv/FCC-Chairman-Pai-to-the-NAB
This is where Chairman Pai talks about being bullish on "localism, diversity"
of broadcasting, and also at the same time, eliminating the local studio rule.
I pointed out, in that post, the contradiction. I pointed out where none of his
examples of why broadcasting is great had anything to do with localism. I then
also posted an FCC announcement about this same topic, where they explicitly
mention getting rid of the requirement that stations be capable of producing
content (which he didn't mention in the speech to the NAB).
This has everything to do with this FCC, Craig. I already posted and discussed
all of this, you already responded with your usual confusion, and now you're
claiming that it has nothing to do with the FCC.
The destruction of "localism" in the broadcast radio market was a
fait accompli by the turn of the century,
Even if this is true, you could have waxed about this way back then, you could
also have disagreed with Chairman Pai back then, and ended it. Instead, you
felt obliged to meander left and right, with all manner of tangential and
mostly irrelevant comments:

Summary: The debate about eliminating the local studio rule HAS EVERYTHING to
do with this FCC.
END OF THREAD.
