C-SPAN to Stream Media-Ownership Hearing
Energy & Commerce Committee Hearing Wednesday to Stream Live on C-SPAN.org
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/4/2007 7:06:00 AM
C-SPAN said Tuesday that it will stream Wednesday’s Energy & Commerce Committee hearing on media ownership.
The hearing will feature all five Federal Communications Commission members, as well as representatives of the newspaper, broadcasting and media-activist communities.
C-SPAN vice president Peter Kiley said in an e-mail that "commitments to other programs" prevented C-SPAN from carrying the hearing live on one of its TV channels, but a tape of the hearing will air at a later time.
The hearing will stream live at C-SPAN.org starting at 9:30 a.m. -- if it starts on time -- and will be archived for on-demand viewing.
C-SPAN covered last week's delayed FCC public meeting, with a team ready to go at 9:30 a.m. for a hearing that eventually started at about 9:20 p.m.
Wednesday’s hearing could have some fireworks, with chairman John Dingell (D-Mich.) having asked FCC chairman Kevin Martin to delay a Dec. 18 vote on loosening the newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership ban that the chairman has said he would like to vote on, effectively wrapping up a years-long review of media ownership.

I often tune in to your channel and enjoy the great music you broadcast, I only wish you could include the albums you play. For example just before 6pm MT on Feb 9 you were playing some great piano music backed with a Latin American style orchestra, could you let me know where that came from?
