And speaking of which, today marks the one year anniversary of what FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein referred to (quoting Winston Churchill) as the end of the beginning -- referring to the infamous FCC vote of June 2, 2003 to remove a number of key media ownership rules.

Plus, the June 2004 CMA newsletter got sent yesterday. Be sure to sign up if you haven't already done so.
