I'm turning on Howard now to hear the latest.
5 member board. 3 republicans, 2 democrats. Partisan bickering of course like anything else. The vote right now is 2-2 with one repub left. She is expected to vote for it soon. And yes, the recent dem vote against was because he wanted 25% of channels allocated for minority run and public service programming. That is a ridiculous percentage to want. The companies had agreed on 8% which IMO is more than fine to "require" to be one of those two uses.

See, republicans are good for something!
