Jackson urges
satellite radio deal be contingent on minority leases
From Bloomberg News
(January 15, 2007) Jesse Jackson met the top U.S. communications
regulator on Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.'s planned purchase of XM
Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., according to a company that wants to
control some of the broadcasters' channels.
Jackson met with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin
on Dec. 9, according to a filing by Georgetown Partners LLC, a black-owned
investment company.
Jackson's discussion with Martin "was consistent with Georgetown Partners'
filings" urging the FCC to require XM and Sirius to lease at least 20
percent of their channels to minority-controlled firms as a condition of
the merger. The FCC posted the filing on its Web site Friday.
Georgetown wants to offer 50 to 70 channels that would compete with
programming from a merged satellite company, David Siddall, an attorney
for the firm, said Monday. The channels would be used for free,
ad-supported programming and could be offered alongside or instead of
those from XM and Sirius, Georgetown said in a Nov. 2 letter to the FCC.
A consumer with the appropriate tuner could receive the leased channels,
regardless of whether they were satellite subscribers, Siddall said.
The only two satellite radio companies are awaiting approval of their
combination by the FCC and the Justice Department. XM and Sirius, in a
joint filing Nov. 13, called the proposal for minority control
"unwarranted" and said it would undermine opportunities for diverse
programming.
The FCC declined to comment on Martin's meeting with Jackson. A telephone
call to Rainbow PUSH spokeswoman Kimberly Marcus wasn't immediately
returned.
