Congress Considering More Low Power FM Stations

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the low-power-to-the-people dept.

Skapare writes "According to this ReclaimTheMedia article, the Local Community Radio Act of 2007 (PDF) would remove the artificial restrictions imposed on LPFM by a 2000 law passed at the urging of corporate radio giants and NPR, claiming that small community stations would interfere with the signals of larger stations. If passed, this bill will pave the way for educational groups, nonprofits, unions, schools and local governments to launch new local radio stations across the country."

    Eh, it's not like it worked well anyway. Might as well listen to small radio stations instead of being isolated within your own personal preferences.
