The FCC and The Blackout

The AP is reporting today that the FCC has started an investigation into WHNT's "blackout" of the 60 Minutes report on Former Governor Don Siegelman's prosecution and conviction. There's not a chance in a million that they'll take any action against the Huntsville station, presuming it truly was a case of equipment failure. WHNT had no reason to block the story (As if in this YouTube era they could somehow hide the contents of the report from their viewers?) And on top of that, they rebroadcast the segment twice after the misfire. Conspiracy theorists may see the black helicopters blocking the satellite signal or something, but this is one story that's not going anywhere.
