This episode of The MacNeil/Lehrer Report looks at the possibility of deregulating the American radio industry. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed removing regulations on commercial time, news programming, community servings and broadcast logs, with marketplace forces taking their place. Jim Lehrer and Charlayne Hunter-Gault interview members of the FCC, broadcast industry, social organizations and religious groups for their opinions on these proposed regulations.
