87. Soon to be retired Congressman, Maurice Hinchey (D- NY20) tried this a while back

He put forth a Media Ownership Reform Act which would have encompassed ALL media, TV, radio, cable, newspapers, magazines, and other forms. It would limit the ownership of media outlets in a given area so that smaller companies could compete again.
Here's the full text of the bill from the 109th Congress: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/109/hr3302/text

From Congressman Hinchey:

"The Media Ownership Reform Act seeks to restore integrity and diversity to America's media system by lowering the number of media outlets that one company is permitted to own in a single market. The bill also reinstates the Fairness Doctrine to protect fairness and accuracy in journalism."

His successor, since redistricting is the teabagger Chris Gibson. He will not try to get anything like this through, and our hands will be full trying to get him out in two years.
