On Mon 5/6, the SF Board of Supervisors will decide whether Clear Channel, through its subsidiary Adshel, will be allowed to control the city's proposed new "pedmounts," kiosks to replace newsracks. Media activists will be there to raise hell against yet another Clear Channel monopoly. The corporation would have the right to decide what publications are distributed through the new news racks, pay no fees to cover the City's administrative costs, and be permitted to put enormous ads on the backs of the racks. A press conference denouncing the move will be held at City Hall at noon.
