House passes LPFM bill

Dec 18, 2010 2:08 am
On a voice vote, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Local Community Radio Act of 2010, a bill that will create a few thousand new non-commercial low-power radio stations. The latest version of the bill must now be approved by the Senate before Congress adjourns, and signed by President Barack Obama. A National Public Radio story earlier in the week said an anonymous Senator, possibly with campaign contributions from the National Association of Broadcasters, was "holding" the bill there.
