Media Action Center Says This is a Victory

Media Action Center Director Sue Wilson said Entercom’s relinquishing its KDND license is a huge victory for the public interest. However, she says, Entercom should not be looked at as the “good guy” in this case.

Wilson says she’s grateful that due to the loss of this key station, FCC compliance issues will be on the minds of this and every broadcaster moving forward. “But to conclude that Entercom is the good guy here ignores the fact that rather than surrendering their license upon the FCC Hearing Designation Order, they have instead litigated this issue with a huge team of expensive attorneys. Only now that the FCC must approve the company’s pending merger with CBS Radio is this mega corporation doing the “right thing. However, the Judge has not ruled on MAC’s proposed enlargement of issues, including character, reporting, and cluster wide misconduct. These issues may reflect not only on KDND, but on Entercom Sacramento’s cluster of licenses, and indeed on all of Entercom’s licenses. We await the judge’s decision.”
