Goodmon Files Response To Comments on FCC Rule Consideration
Capitol Broadcasting Company and its President & CEO Jim Goodmon are continuing their vehement opposition to the relaxing of media ownership rules that the Federal Communications Commission may implement.

Goodmon filed a response to Belo’s letter to the FCC last week, saying that Belo Chairman and CEO Robert Decherd was offering what amounted to a deal with the Commission. Goodmon said that the FCC should consider each rule separately.
“This debate should not take place with deal-making and concessions between a few major media companies and a government agency with appointed, not elected, officials,” wrote Goodmon.
