The politics of the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to expand the numbers of stations individual companies can own in a particular market has turned a local medium into a national one and had effects ranging as wide a spectrum as wholesale changes in programming formats and the near elimination of the Disc Jockey as a relevant figure in the life of a community, beyond making paid advertising appearances for those businesses who can afford them.

All technologies come packaged with a set of politics: if those technologies are not inherently political, the conditions in which they are created and in which they circulate into a society are political and influence their uses in that society (Winner, 1986), and those politics can profoundly change the spaces in which messages are created, received, and used. The potential of the changes in these spaces can be staggering when considered in light of the communicative possibilities they can either open up or shut down.
