McCain sets witness list

By Bill McConnell -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/27/2003 3:00:00 AM

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) Friday set the lineup for the Jan. 30 Commerce Committee hearing on radio consolidation.

The hearing is the first in a series he plans on media ownership.

Testimony opens with Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), who has introduced legislation that would eliminate "pay-for-play," which radio stations often extract from record companies, and stop other purported abuses stemming from radio consolidation.

Next will be a lineup comprised of Lowry Mays, Clear Channel Communications Inc.'s chairman; Eddie Fritts, the National Association of Broadcasters' president; Don Henley, former Eagles guitarist and songwriter; Jenny Toomey, Future of Music Coalition head; and Robert Short, an African American who recently sold his station holdings.
