Low Power FM UPdate

I just called both senators and found that neither had a position on the Local Community Radio Act, bill S592.

Please call them both, now, and voice your support for the bill.

Kerry, John F. - (D) - (202) 224-2742
Brown, Scott P. - (R) - (202) 224-4543

Tell them your local public access TV station has a construction permit to build a LPFM station, but cannot start until the 3rd Adjacency law is repealed, with the passage of this act.

Low Power FM / LPFM UPdates

Low Power FM UPdate

LPFM Bill Poised for Passage

The Local Community Radio Act is now poised to pass! On March 10, 2010 S592 was finally placed on the calendar and reported out of Committee, making the bill ready for a vote of approval from the Senate. With this bureaucratic piece of process behind us, we are just a few steps away from passing the Local Community Radio Act. After passing out of the Full House of Representatives in December, all that remains is for the bill to be voted out of the Senate and then signed into law by the President.

Along with the sponsors of the legislation, Sens. Cantwell (WA) and McCain (AZ), the cosponsors of the legislation are a strong group of high-ranking Senators who have the power to push this bill towards passage this session. Among them are, Durbin (IL), Feingold (WI), Leahy (VT), Merkley (OR), Sanders (VT), and Schumer (NY)

In Senator Durbin's home-state, the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP) is working hard for the passage of the Local Community Radio Act so that their newly-launched internet station can make its way onto the FM band.

CHIRP is dedicated to providing Chicago residents with a community radio station focused on the representation of local people, events, and issues alongside a wide array of local and independent music. They seek to promote localism, diversity, and independence in public broadcasting via programming and web content curated, created, and produced by Chicagoans.

While there are many urban groups interested in getting an opportunity to broadcast for the first time, there are also many rural communities that stand to benefit from the passage of the Local Community Radio Act. At the recent FCC media ownership hearings, Mike Willis of Lake Murray, South Carolina was among several supporters who used the public hearing to ask South Carolina’s legislators to expand the low power service with the Local Community Radio Act.

“We want to urge the US Senators from South Carolina to support this legislation. We have not yet had Senator Jim DeMint’s support, and we are calling on him to help us pass this important bill this spring,” said Willis, who hopes to start a low power station for his community.

With the reporting phase of the legislation complete, we expect quick movement to pass this bill through Unanimous Consent. We will need every Senator to commit to supporting LPFM this spring. If you have not yet called your Senator's office, urge them to support S592 so that low power radio can be expanded across the United States.

Call our Senators and ask them to support S592- the Local Community Radio Act.

Kerry, John F. - (D) - (202) 224-2742
Brown, Scott P. - (R) - (202) 224-4543

1) Call and ask to speak to the staff person who covers telecom issues.

2) Tell the telecom staffer, either over the phone or on their voice mail:

"I am a constituent from Montague and I am calling to urge [Senator's name] to support S592, which expands the Low Power FM radio service, creating opportunities for local community media outlets in our district. The Local Community Radio Act is advancing rapidly and will shortly be hotlined through the Senate. Can I count on the Senator's support?”
