Tell the FCC: Stop News Consolidation in Hawaii
 

Dear Friend,

Did you know that three of Honolulu's TV stations air the same exact news?

It's true: Last year, Raycom Media of Alabama struck a deal that gave it control over Honolulu’s local NBC, CBS and MyNetwork affiliates. Change the channel all you want, but KGMB, KHNL and KFVE now broadcast the same news coverage out of just one newsroom. 

This practice of "covert consolidation" is designed to circumvent FCC rules protecting localism, competition and diversity on the airwaves, and Hawaii residents are paying the price. At stake are newsroom jobs, access to competing voices, and adequate coverage of the issues that are important to you and your neighbors.

This form of media consolidation hurts every Hawaii resident. It must be stopped now. 

Blow the Whistle on "Covert Consolidation" in Hawaii

 

The Raycom deal violates the FCC's media ownership rules. Yet so far the agency — which received a formal complaint a year ago — has done nothing about it. If the FCC fails to act, this precedent will spread like wildfire and "covert consolidation" deals will rob cities nationwide of vital local news coverage.

Please sign

 
Free Press and Media Council Hawaii's letter now and tell the FCC that this deal violates its ownership rules and should be stopped.

Then please forward this e-mail to to all of your friends and neighbors so they can speak out against media consolidation, too.  

Thank you for taking action,

no wonder the news seemed the same............because IT IS THE SAME!  ....."covert consolidation".........interesting.........yet, criminal......process of dumbing down the sheep..........


then again, the internet has more accurate news as well, along with entertainment................for example,  maybe the following youtube will dissuade many from drinking SODA'S which is unhealthy, has tons of sugar and should be consumed (if at all) only once in a great while.......... and other interesting stuff........click on pictures:

  • amelia,

    Mahalo for reposting, need to stay on tract during the vacation period.  These excutive agreements are important which should keep the governors policy makers at bay or away from the 200,000 acerage that Native Hawaiians live on--including military families.

     

    Land transfere into fee simple and speculative for military families.  It's been going on over and over in peace and war time for the US that is their economics--speculative set forth by idiots three-hundred years ago. 

  • Free press is stunted in Hawai'i. The covert consolidation has been evident and anti-trust laws have been ignored. Three major TV stations are run by one corporate company and two major newspapeers have been merged into one newpaper. How many radio stations are controlled by one company?

    This monopoly is being countered by the internet which the "government" lobbyists are trying to control. Maka'ala and fight back to preserve free Press. The U.S. bureaucratic oligarchy is sending U.S. citizens back into the dark ages by keeping them ignorant of world news and the criminal actions the U.S. is committing in their names.
  • I got business with Kamaile Elementary today did not see your additional posting until now.
