McCain May Team With Feingold To Limit Radio Station Ownership Consolidation Wed Jan 08 2002 09:51:31 ET
Sen. Russell D. Feingold said Tuesday he plans to reintroduce legislation that would limit the consolidation of radio station ownership and to punish radio conglomerates that stifle competition.
The bill died last year, but in the 108th Congress Feingold may have a powerful, if familiar, partner -- John McCain, R-Ariz, who has again become chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
McCain spokeswoman Pia Pialorsi said McCain 'is interested in the topic and has talked to Feingold about it. He's definitely looking at' backing Feingold's legislation, which could be introduced in the coming weeks, CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY reported on Wednesday.
