WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. House of Representa-
tives on Wednesday voted to restore national TV ownership limits that federal regulators moved to relax last month.
The 400-to-21 vote in the Republican-dominated chamber represented a rebuke of the Bush administration and the Federal Communications Commission, which on a party-line vote on June 2 decided to relax major media ownership limits.
The House voted for a spending bill that included a measure to return to 35 percent the proportion of TV households that can be reached by stations owned by one company.
