Citing First Amendment, FCC Rejects Chicago TV License Challenge
Just in: the FCC has rejected an attempt to suspend the license renewal of all 18 tv stations in the Chicago market.
The attempt was initiated by Third Coast Press, a left-wing newspaper who complained that the stations were all "systematically negligent" in serving the public.
Filed a year ago, the complaint alleged that the stations provided inadequate coverage of public affairs, opting instead for "police actions, crime and celebrity trivia" over more meaningful subjects, such as Iraq war analysis and debate.
