Senators from both sides of the floor are cooking up legislation that will force the FCC to create new regulations that ensure diversity in media ownership.
The group said it was pressing ahead with legislation to retain limits keeping a network from owning stations that together reach more than 35 percent of the national audience…

"A lot of Republicans, in fact, probably most of the Republicans in Congress, would not agree with this decision," said Lott, the former Republican leader of the Senate.
