RE: ratings

First it was a Republican Congress that put the kibbosh on it, then GW Bush 
got elected and made Michael Powell Chairman of the FCC and that buried the 
matter.   In addition to NPR not wanting it, commercial station owners were 
worried any investigation into their non-comm friends might spark 
investigations into their own wares.   Who knows if there's really 
something to investigate (besides the high suck factor :-) but 
investigations are always to be avoided if you're one of the "big boys" - 
nothing good every comes of them from their perspective.
