The Chicago Tribune provides this view of media concentration from the front lines of the smallest broadcast market in the nation: Glendive, Montana. Sample quote:

"I'm not for consolidation, period," says Paul Sturlaugson, 51, vice president and general manager of Glendive Broadcasting, which owns KXGN-TV and a pair of AM/FM onsite radio stations. "It's less people making more decisions for all of us, and when corporate America takes over, the bottom line becomes more important than the community."
