Bill Moyers "Now" Segment on Media Conglomerates

[Laurence Glavin]

On Friday, 01/03/04, the first segment of Bill Moyers' "Now"
dealt with the methodolgy employed to get a bill favorable
to Viacom and News Corp (Fox tv) through Congress.  The
annual appropriations bill had a few lines allowing
these two entities to own TV stations reaching more than
35% of the potential audience with owned-and-operated outlets.
Many if not most of you are familiar with this, but if you
want to see how it was covered on "Now", the show will be
repeated Sunday morning on Boston's WGBX-TV at 11:00 am
(same time as LTAR; set your VCR or TIVO).
Both the Maine PTV network and the NH PTV network
rebroadcast it at 6:00 pm Sunday.  AS I mentioned it's the
first story on the show.  You can watch until about 6:25
and then turn off your TV, as there's apparently nothing 
else worth watching tomorrow night.
