On
Oct. 12-19, the FCC will open window to issue full-power, noncommercial
radio licenses. The FCC is asking for public comment on whether it
should limit groups from owning more than 10 of these new stations
nationwide.
This is a good idea. Currently, any noncommercial
entity could apply for thousands of new full power FM radio stations
and destroy this rare chance to put local issues and local voices back
on the air. Tell the FCC to promote local and diverse radio.
Send this message to the FCC:
Please help protect local and diverse radio by adopting the proposal described in MM Docket No. 95-31 to limit the number of applications for the NCE FM New Station Applications in the October 2007 filing window.
By limiting the number of applications from any single entity, the FCC will protect local voices and make sure these new stations serve local communities. The Commission's mandate to foster localism and diversity will be advanced by encouraging wider pool of local applicants.
I strongly urge you to adopt the proposal described in MM Docket No. 95-31 to limit any single entity to 10 applications for the new noncommercial licenses.
