Media Minutes for September 4, 2009
Producer: Stevie Converse and Candace Clement
Length: 5:04

And an appeals court threw out the FCC's ruling that cable companies can't control more than 30 percent of a market. But that doesn't mean that the agency gets to ignore the issue of capping cable ownership.
