FCC Public Hearings on Broadcast Localism continue,
next up: March 17, Monterey, CA
The third of six public hearings on the subject of broadcast localism will be
held in Monterey, California. This hearing will be open to the public, and AIVF
members in Northern California are encouraged to attend. The FCC has not yet set
an agenda; we will send an alert to our Northern California members when details
are available. Last month's hearing in San Antonio, Texas brought out a very
diverse and outspoken audience, and provoked a number of substantive news
articles on the issues at hand.

harbor or "sponsor" terrorists, preemptive military action, unilateralism,
regime change, conflicts between homeland security and civil liberties, and
other still-emerging questions resulting from the The CPB announcement on February 27 will be published on CPBšs web site (http://www.cpb.org) and will be accompanied by the
