Media Action Center is a group of of concerned residents throughout the U.S. led by former Emmy-winning broadcaster turned media reformer Sue Wilson. We have successfully influenced policy at the Federal Communications Commission and at local TV and Radio stations throughout the country for more than a decade to ensure We the People are truly served by the publicly owned airwaves. MAC has joined a current Petition to Deny the broadcast licenses of DISNEY ABC at the FCC to ensure We the People have a seat at our Public Interest table. We have also commented to answer the FCC's question, "Is the View Bonafide News?" (See below.) MAC earlier filed a successful Petition to Deny Entercom's license to broadcast on radio station KDND for killing a woman in a radio water drinking stunt; that forced Entercom to give up its $13.5 million license, and in 2000, educated the Supreme Court in FCC v Prometheus Radio on how multiple TV station with one corporate owner merely duplicate news stories on all its stations, a methodology currently being used in legal cases surrounding the Nexstar/TEGNA merger.

Formal Complaint to FCC filed on behalf of Wisconsin citizens

                                                                                                       May 24, 2012
Minutes ago, I filed a formal complaint on behalf of citizens of Wisconsin with the FCC concerning Milwaukee's WTMJ and WISN radio.

Both stations are violating the FCC's Quasi-Equal Opportunities Doctrine (Zapple Doctrine) which provides that if a radio station gives free airtime to supporters of one major political party candidate, it must provide comparable time to supporters of the other major political party candidate.

Supporters of Tom Barrett are demanding their rights in the remaining days of the Scott Walker recall election, and we have asked the FCC to intervene immediately.
