Access Humboldt applauds Rep. Huffman's Local and Independent Television Protection Act
Today, Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Rep. David Price (D-NC) introduced the Local and Independent Television Protection Act to prevent further consolidation of absentee ownership in the broadcast TV marketplace nationwide. The legislation would close an obsolete, and recently re-opened, FCC loophole that would dramatically reduce competition and diversity among local TV stations across the country.
