March Media Month to Expand Low Power Radio!

[Scott Pinkelman]

Announcing March Media Month in the Campaign to Expand Low Power Radio

The effort to pass the Local Community Radio Act has been moving along since the campaign kick-off during Inauguration! The bill was introduced in the House in late February as H.R. 1147 and in the Senate in March as S. 592. Track the progress of the House bill here and the Senate bill here. Across the country, people have been mobilizing: taking part in our postcard campaign, working to pass city council resolutions, and letting people know that NOW is the time to expand low-power radio.

If you haven't heard it yet, listen to the press teleconference call announcing the bill's reintroduction in the House.
