Welcome! Thank you for your interest in preserving local TV
There's a battle being waged in Washington and it could lead to less local news. The war's being fought over a simple issue. Should one company be allowed to own more than one television station? Opponents say no, media giants could swallow up stations and control the news. If this were 1935, that'd be a pretty good argument. Media was a lot different back then. Most towns across America had a radio station or two, maybe a couple of newspapers, but not much more. Today the world's a much different place. There are hundreds of cable channels, thousands of radio stations and too many internet sites to even count. A media monopoly is simply impossible in today's world.

But an overreaction to an unrealistic threat could have serious consequences. In medium and small television markets, the difference between profitability and loss can be thin. Operating two stations gives companies like ours the ability to deliver another news voice to the market. It means more local news not less. It means more local jobs. It's good for our community.
