Congress Considering More Low Power FM Stations

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."

I'm smart enough to live in a town cool enough to have our own local radio station, and I agree with the other posters. It's great. It's run by local people, often playing local music. The only other radio worth listening to is NPR.

Fuck Clear Channel.
