Rebroadcast from Aug. 17, 2013. Interviews, features, and information about low-power FM radio are featured here. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is allowing non-profit groups to apply for non-commercial low-power FM radio station licenses in October. Peter Doyle and Janice Wise from the FCC will be interviewed about LPFM, and the process to apply for a license. Julia Wierski from Prometheus Radio Project, a community radio activist group, will explain how to apply, and why. Radio journalists John Anderson and Paul Riismandel will also retell the history behind the efforts to allow the public access to its own airwaves. Michael Wise, the President of the Board at WBCR-LP in Great Barrington, MA, discusses the struggles to keep a LPFM station on the air. There will also be interviews with applicants for LPFM stations, from CHIRP in Chicago. The show will also feature historic interviews and audio clips about how a few thousand pirate radio stations, other activism, Washington lobbying, and court fights, got the low-power FM laws in place. Dharma Dailey, formerly of Prometheus Radio Project, co-hosts with Tom Roe. The FCC holds a webinar Aug. 20 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. to educate anyone interested in applying.
