| FCC Commissioner Deborah Tate's office met with the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC) on Wednesday, according to a recent filing. Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate and Amy Blakenship, Legal Assistant to Commissioner Tate discussed the merger of Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. even though MMTC has not filed comments on the merger. This is where it gets interesting: MMTC said they do not have plans to file any commats this time "as the merger does not appear to have a direct, specific impact on minority ownership policy." Regarding the proposal endorsed by Congressmen Towns (albeit, later retracted ) to set aside channel space for leases for minority ownership, MMTC said that "the Commission should bear in mind the greater difficulty minorities face when leasing rather than purchasing assets. Therefore, the Commission should examine the specific terms of the proposal for longevity, uniqueness, and financial sustainability of the contemplated operation." That's a very interesting take, and quite the departure from other minority groups who have presented in the past. [ View FCC Filing (PDF)]
