Date: 2011-10-12

In Charleston South Carolina, the local FOX station produces news for the CBS affiliate. Even though the stations have different owners, they share the same on-air personalities, the same scripts, and the same stories. This sneaky form of media consolidation is taking place all over the country.

Now, you can join with others in your community to help uncover these dirty deals. Together we'll build a case against covert consolidation that the Federal Communications Commission won't be able to ignore. Go to www.savethenews/changethechannels.
