Wisconsin Senator Herb Kohl voted to limit federal rules that would have allowed giant TV station conglomerates.
The senate committee vote comes after Wednesday night’s ruling by a federal appeals court to delay new rules allowing a single company to own TV stations reaching 45% of the nation’s viewers. Herb Kohl’s vote supported reverting that to 35% as under current rules. Media access advocates applaud the latest developments. Frederica Freyberg reports.
