These are amazing folks - I've had the opportunity to meet and work with them in the past and have nothing but good words for their work and their energy.
As you'll note - we have a decent chance for a Veneta frequency under the current rules - and an excellent chance if the FCC adopts the 2nd channel separation - something we think a very good possibility.
I'd like the fair to agree to a formal letter to the FCC advocating the 2nd channel separation rule be adopted...and yes - would be happy to attend any bod meeting to advocate for such a resolution if it would help.
I've run public hearings with the fcc commissioners - and can say that they absolutely listen to people advocating positions, as let's face it - while radio affects millions of people, it is a small sub set who actually get into the weeds to start a station.
Their webinars are very informative, so - if so inclined, just sign up for one and log in.
I will try to fold the bullet points for an external partnership into the larger synopsis. Please feel free to make additional adjustments, etc.
