File FCC Comments Now to Make Sure There's Room for Low Power Radio!

The FCC is currently accepting your comments on the future of Low Power
FM -- but time is running out!  Comments are due midnight on Monday,
April 7.  Now is the time to make your voice heard as the FCC decides on
rules which will have a big impact on whether there's room in your town
for new local community radio stations or more of the same schlock we're
all sick of -- it will take only a minute of your time and will mean a
lot if you want a radio station in your community!

We are hot on the trail of expanding low power community radio around
the country, both in Congress and at the FCC.  Thanks to the efforts of
low power radio supporters like you, the Local Community Radio Act --
which will lift the restrictions on Low Power FM -- has almost 80
co-sponsors in the House of Representatives and last fall unanimously
passed the Senate Commerce Committee.

And if you and your community already have a station, file comments here
to ask the FCC to protect our stations, and keep them on the air instead
of knocking them off to make way for full power stations encroaching on
our cities and towns!

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, the better
all of our chances are of convincing them to change their policies and
make more LPFM channels available.  Feel free to forward this email to
other people whose comments you think will also make a difference!
