Mel Karmazin is scheduled to appear in front of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet (a subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce), today at 2:30pm ET.
The hearing is on "The Digital Future of the United States: Part II– The Future of Radio" headed by Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA) who was chairman of the subcommittee 12-years ago.
"Now, for the first time I have the gavel back again, and I plan to highlight competition," Markey said earlier last week.
Markey also said that under a Republican-controlled Congress and FCC, consumers have suffered with the slow spread of broadband and a lack of competition to telephone and cable companies.
Peter Smyth, President and CEO of Greater Media, is also scheduled to enter the fray. Smyth is the only commercial broadcaster on the list (too bad, I would've liked to see David Rehr again).
No David Rehr fix today... :-( There goes most of the entertainment factor.
I hope they bend him over the podium and give him a good long deep one after lying to them a couple of weeks ago about the increase in price.
This guy cannot be trusted.
