Media Reform: Help IBLTV Stop Ownership Expansion – Sign the Petition Now
Iowans for Better Local TV
IBLTV is sponsoring a citizen's petition to advocate better
local broadcast television. Please add your voice by signing our petition, to
be sent to the Federal Communication Commission.
The purpose of our petition is to improve broadcast TV by
asking the FCC to hear our complaints about the poor quality of local
television, especially those run by Sinclair Broadcast Group, rather than
merely “rubber stamping” and re-approving their license to broadcast
on our airwaves.
We feel that, in return for the privilege of the free use of
our airwaves for their private profit, local TV should truly provide public
service to all of us.
In fact, FCC rules require it.
The Time to Act is Now! (click here to sign)
Why? In Iowa,
all FCC broadcast licenses expire at the end of this year. Because licenses
last a long 8 years, stations are highly sensitive to citizen perception –
they don't want to look bad in the eyes of the FCC. There is no better time for
us to act than right now.
Please join us by signing our petition. It's easy and we assure
you that your information (needed to validate your “signature”) will
be used ONLY for this petition.
