 Reid drops Senate history class   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Baker, whom Daschle recruited after he was elected minority leader in 1995 to give a brief talk about the history of the Senate at the weekly meetings of the Democratic caucus, was informed last week that the caucus won’t have time for him when Harry Reid (D-Nev.) succeeds Daschle in January.

At a committee hearing on the subject, he acknowledged the inter-industry squabbling set off by a plan to recoup spectrum, but cautioned, "the primary decision is when we do it, and then how, and then the equity" between industry groups.
Broadcasters that voluntarily return the spectrum they currently use to show analog television programs would get mandatory carriage of all their digital television programs on cable systems, under a draft version of an FCC Media Bureau plan.
By granting broadcasters that return spectrum the right to have all digital programs - including those that are "multicast" in standard definition - carried on cable systems, the latest version of the plan gives broadcasters something they have long sought.
