Ray - you're thinking of te Fairness Doctrine. This was suspended back in he 80's, though it still remains on the books, and will most likely be re-instated if Obama wins, as that is the only way they can silence talk radio.
The principle behind it is that when there were far fewer radio and tv stations brodcasting, that stations should provide time for rebuttals to political content. With deregulation of the communications industry, and the rapid expansion of tv and radio stations, the lack of available venues was no longer an issue.
