Nonprofit Alert--Low Power Radio Filing Window - Here in no Time!

While October 2013 may seem a ways down the line, it's really not if you or your organization want to get involved with one of the new low-power radio stations that will come into being over the next few years in the biggest giveaway of broadcast infrastructure to the public most of us will ever see. Application support is available, so just don't think about it, take action. Among others, Northern California's Common Frequency can guide you through the process with an expert hand.

But it's only a brief reprieve.   If you haven't filed a brief comment reminding the FCC that they work for you and not just for Rupert Murdoch, now's the time to take a second and do it.  

 

Get the details about these to news stories from Media Alliance.
