Post by Reformer
Is it too late for the Tennessee Democratic Party to quietly work toward having freshman State Rep. Matthew Hill (R-H7) pick-up an additional house committee or subcommittee assignment pertaining to Native American Affairs? Let me explain:
I’ve attached a collection of various FCC 323 forms filed by State of Franklin PAC President Dr. Kenneth G. Hill supporting the FCC application renewal process that Dr. Hill went through in the process of re-upping the FCC ticket for several of his (and his son, Rep. Matthew Hill, R-H7) "Appalachian Radio Group" stations.
Me thinks that Big Chief Ken Hill speak with forked tongue --- while Dr. Hill affirms on his State of Tennessee voter registration card that his race is "White", he also files license applications with the Federal Communications Commission as "American Indian.” Unfortunately for all on the Hill rez, Dr. Hill's current WPWT 870 "Good Morning Tri-Cities" radio talk show host (Timothy) confirmed through indirect, on-air questioning that Big Chief Hill is, in fact, not America Indian.
You will also find a couple of links back to the FCC Indian Tribal Initiative program as well...you will know that my words are true and fly straight as an arrow through the morning sky.
I have this as an html file, but I have been having trouble posting it. Hopefully I can find a website to save this to and then I can link to it from here. Or if you are interested I can email it to you. Meantime, here are some useful links:
The consolidated FCC 323 "Ownership Report for Commercial Broadcast Station" forms pertain to the Hill family's self-described "Appalachian Radio Group" --- a somewhat questionable term that is actually an "umbrella group" reference employed by both the Tennessee State Representative Matthew Hill (R-H7, Jonesborough) and the State of Franklin PAC President Dr. Kenneth C. Hill to describe their intertwined network of both the 501(c)(3) Appalachian Education Communications Corporation (AECC) non-profit radio stations --- and other non-profit assets owned by AECC such as the Cameo Theater down the street in Bristol. Virginia --- along with their for-profit WPWT 870AM radio station operations of the Information Communications Corporation (ICC).
In the FCC report, the "Owner Information" section reveals that the State of Franklin PAC President Dr. Hill has repeatedly checked the radio buttons on his FCC 323 filings for American Indian or Alaska Native on the 2003 and 2004 FCC 323 filings (other similar FCC filings were found but not included here for the sake of brevity) --- which is a rather strange choice as Dr. Hill has affirmed his race as being "White" on his application for his State of Tennessee voter registration card (the supporting documents are on file with the Sullivan County Election Commission Office; digital copies are attached here), and that his other talk radio show hosting-son, Timothy Hill, stated during his "Good Morning, Tri-Cities" radio program that his father was not an American Indian, nor was there was not any significant Native American ancestor found in close proximity along his Hill family bloodline.
The Federal Communication Commission does have an Indian Tribal Initiative program that seeks to provide Native Americans with greater abilities, assistance programs and resources to participate ant to compete within the U.S. telecommunications industry (including both AM and FM radio broadcasting), but there is no indication that Dr. Hill affirmed his race as American Indian in order to receive any consideration within the FCC Indian Tribal Initiative program.
