Hyde predicts FCC policies will persist after his tenure
Rosel H. Hyde, longtime FCC leader, says his successor is unlikely to reverse established policies. The 69 year old, who guided the agency through turbulent times, notes some publicized ideas have not yet become official policy. Hyde discusses proposed rules on cable competition, ownership limits, prime time sourcing, and inquiries into conglomerate ownership, plus past orders on equal time, anti smoking ads, pay television, and employment practice rules.
