Local Radio Act passes out of Senate Committee!

Submitted by Autumn Labbe-Renault on Thu, 11/19/2009 - 11:35am.

From our friends at Prometheus Radio, good news on the Local Radio Act!

Local Community Radio Act: One Step Closer to the Finish Line

This morning, the Local Community Radio Act (S592) passed unanimously out of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation with a voice vote. Both the Senate and House versions of the bill are on their way to full floor votes.

By repealing restrictions placed on the FCC in 2000, the Local Community Radio Act would allow hundreds of new licenses for low power FM stations.

Gary Galloway, Communications Leader for a county emergency response task force in Newton County, Mississippi spent the week in DC telling lawmakers his story about the life-saving role of low power radio during a crisis. After hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged Louisiana and coastal Mississippi, Galloway worked with the Hancock County Emergency Management Team in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to reach out to the public. Broadcasting nightly on low power station WQRZ, Galloway was able to provide essential information about road closures and where people could go to get food, water, and medical care.

Programmer Bill Buchanan's DAVISVILLE radio show was the subject of an article on the front page of the Tuesday, September 22 Davis Enterprise. Bill was a longtime print journalist so it is great to see him back in ink. I also happen to know that Bill will be hosting two upcoming television shows regarding local Measure P. So if you can't get enough of Bill from his great show, or from reading the Enterprise, tune into DCTV cable channel 15 to see him on television.

Check out the Davis Enterprise article here...you have to log in to see it. Or go buy a copy on the racks for that satisfying newspaper feel.
