The FCC doesn't regulate newspapers, direct mail firms, or billboard companies. They _do_ regulate radio stations, of course, and if the TV experiment is successful then I'd expect it to spread to the radio side as well. The key thing is that this is not new information gathering. TV and radio stations have long been legally required to compile this data and make it available for public inspection. What's new is that it would be on the stations' websites (probably tucked away next to their EEO compliance docs) instead of only available by visiting the station in person during regular business hours. -- Ed Dravecky II washed-up former disc jockey for radio stations which no longer exist -- TV or Not TV ....
