The week in radio and media headlines are reviewed. From Free Speech Radio News: "Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps on media consolidation and threats to public airwaves." Also, Claire Gastanaga, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, discusses radio-controlled drones, privacy issues around them, and a new law in Virginia protecting citizens rights. And the Federal Communications Commission is asking the public for input on its indecency rules. Finally, in 1977 the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen," topped, but was emitted from the British pop charts, and now, "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead," from the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz," is number one without any recognition by the BBC. Tune in both here.
