WASHINGTON -- The Federal Communications Commission ordered its staff to destroy all copies of a draft study that suggested greater concentration of media ownership would hurt local television news coverage, a former lawyer at the agency says.

The 2004 report came to light during the Senate confirmation hearing for FCC chairman Kevin Martin.

managers at the agency ordered that ``every last piece" of the report be destroyed. ``The whole project was just stopped -- end of discussion,"

... The conclusion is at odds with FCC arguments made when it voted in 2003 to increase the number of TV stations a company could own in a single market. It was part of a broader decision liberalizing ownership rules.
