Hot on the trail of expanding low power community radio!

We are hot on the trail of expanding low power community radio aroundthe country, both in Congress and at the FCC. Thanks to the efforts of low power radio supporters like you, the Local Community Radio Act :

(http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HR02802:@@@P) —

which will lift the restrictions on Low Power FM — has 70 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives and last fall unanimously passed the Senate Commerce Committee.And the FCC is currently accepting your comments on the future of Low Power FM!  File Comments at the FCC to Make Sure There’s Room for Low Power radio!  Comments are due April 7th.

This is your chance to tell the FCC to ensure that there are spots on the dial for low power radio–as they decide how to establish a fair balance between the right of your community group to have one single channel for a local community radio station versus the right of existing stations to repeat themselves on 2nd, 3rd, 97th and 821st channels across the country.We think it should run like the school lunch line– every one gets at least a reasonable opportunity for a first portion, before anyone gets seconds.The more the FCC hears the stories of folks like yourself during the next month, the better all of our chances are of convincing them to change their policies and make more LPFM channels available. File Comments at the FCC to Make Sure There’s Room for Low Power radio!
