The airwaves to the people! Good news, as Congress passed the Local Community Radio Act this weekend, allowing for more folks to apply for Low Power FM radio licenses. I was once a DJ on WSCA-LP FM, and the experience was great. Somehow Portsmouth got their license before the FCC inexplicably put a moratorium on all LPFM applications back in 2004. When I say inexplicably, I mean because the National Association of Broadcasters, seeking to protect the interests of conglomerates like ClearChannel, made 'em do it. Anyways, now there will be more places than ever where people can put what they want on the air. I know some of our BZNZmen have been affiliated with WPRB, one of the finest college radio stations in the land, so this should be good news for us all! More diversity, more music, more BZNZ!
