This Week in Radio News: Erykah Badu, Tom Wheeler (Audio)

Dec 19, 2015
Produced by Tom Roe.
First, the headlines from the week in radio waves: FCC pirate radio enforcement at lowest level since 2004; FAA sets registration policy for radio-controlled drones; Howard Stern sticks with satellite radio; Art Bell leaves the airwaves again; France won't shut down Wi-Fi. The show also tunes in Erykah Badu's new album, "But You Caint Use My Phone," which is all about how radio waves from cell phones are effecting humans and the earth, based on a remix of Drake's "Hotline Bling." Finally, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler gave a press conference at the final Open Meeting of the year Dec. 17, and "This Week in Radio News" tunes in.
