The impact of corporate media takeovers was the focus of a recent edition of “MTSU On the Record.”

Dr. Adam Rennhoff

Host Gina Logue’s interview with Dr. Adam Rennhoff, assistant professor in the MTSU Department of Economics and Finance, aired on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org). You can listen to the interview here.

Rennhoff’s research flies in the face of the conventional wisdom that the housing of many newspapers and radio and television stations under relatively few corporate umbrellas diminishes media’s service to their localities.

The interview also will include discussion of Rennhoff’s research into a la carte pricing in the cable television industry. A la carte pricing would allow consumers to select and pay for only those television channels they watch frequently.
