Broadcaster files petition against Sirius-XM merger

FCC
Los Angeles-based Mt. Wilson FM Broadcasters has filed the first petition for reconsideration with the FCC over the merger between Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.

Mt. Wilson is the licensee of L.A. radio stations KKGO and KGIL.

The broadcaster is asking the Commission to take a second look at the conditions imposed on Sirius XM Radio Inc. The company argues that the conditions are not adequate, and that the satellite radio companies should be subject to the same indecency regulations over "unauthorized frequencies" that terrestrial radio follows.

He filed the same complaint in 2004, and lost. Why he is doing it again is simply more proof that most people have lost their minds.

I am sure if you back track payment to this attorney who wrote the filing you would find payment came from the NAB.

I suspect a lot of shareholders would like to see it reconsidered now, too ;)

Sooner than later - it won't matter.

I'm sorry your about a day late and a dollar short....thanks for playing...
Johnny please tell them what they get as a parting gift!!
Well SICK OF IT ALL...the first thing they won is a one way ticket out of the country for attempting to waste more government dollars on a dead issue and a complimentary stay at the Who Gives a Shit Resort on Who Gives a Shit Island....and if that's not enough America will give you a collective.......
WAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Back to you!!!

Man, NAB just can't let it go..
I wonder why they didn't include iPods and a lot of other MP3 players that have the same problem in the lawsuit..
Oh yeah, NAB doesn't have a problem with them..

A last gasp, I believe by the NAB to hold up the works. Welcome to FAIL.

Nab players.... Fucking whaaa! They are bitching because Mel said regular radio sucks

Yawn...
what do you think that the FCC is going to do with this three page marvel of a motion...
flush!

Mr. Levin, the owner of the properties, seems to enjoy playing the maverick role. He frequently changes formats and personalities on his stations, usually based on which of each has been dropped by other Los Angeles area broadcasting companies. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Levine
