War on Fox?
In the 90s in Boston, the cross-ownership ban caused problems for Rupert Murdoch/Fox. He couldn’t own both Fox25 and the Boston Herald. I remember tuning in to the Jerry Williams (radio) show and an arrogant Ted Kennedy called in about it—naturally he was FOR the ban because he wanted to force Murdoch to sell or shut down (IIRC) the Boston Herald, which was not kind to him. I think eventually the paper was sold to Pat Purcell.
(Just looked up on Wikipedia, under Boston Herald):
>>In February 1994, Murdoch’s News Corporation was forced to sell the paper, in order that its subsidiary Fox Television Stations could legally consummate its purchase of Fox affiliate WFXT (Channel 25). Patrick J. Purcell, who was the publisher of the Boston Herald and a former News Corporation executive, purchased the Herald and established it as an independent newspaper.
