FCC Road Show comes to Tampa

The FCC is again threatening to loosen media ownership rules—allowing a few massive corporations to swallow up even more local newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations. On Monday, April 30th, the FCC is coming to Tampa for a rare public hearing on media ownership.

This may be the only time the FCC will be in Tampa. The hearing will feature an open mic for you to speak personally to three of the five FCC commissioners about media consolidation.

Here are the details:

WHAT: FCC Hearing on Media Ownership
WHEN: 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., Monday, April 30th
WHERE: Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center , Louise Lykes Ferguson Hall, 1010 North W.C. MacInnes Place , Tampa, FL

If you want help preparing your testimony, there are workshops in Tampa on Thursday and next Saturday. For details, click the link above. Or just come on April 30th and speak from the heart.

Without your input, the FCC will likely decide to unleash a new wave of consolidation, giving large media corporations permission to seize more control of local news and stifle diversity on the airwaves. It's first-come, first-serve, so make sure that you arrive early to get a chance to testify.

We need to create the kind of momentum we saw in 2003 when millions of Americans stood together to stop the FCC from handing over local control of the media to massive conglomerates.
