"This Week in Radio News" from host Tom Roe at Wave Farm's WGXC. This week: "Low-Power FM applications are now at the FCC in the United States, and online at fcc.gov, The show listens to radiosurvivor.com on how the over 2,800 applicants fared, and break down the New York applicants. Representatives from two LPFM stations, one a jazz-oriented station in Athens, NY, and another a pagan station in Palenville, are interviewed. Also, a look at the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, and its impact on communications policy. And no broadcasters have yet hung antennae at the new transmission facilities atop One World Trade Tower in New York. The highest building in the city is without an antenna for the first time since anyone can remember. The show will explain why, and here the story of some pirate radio broadcasting atop the former World Trade Center. Plus radio music from Steve Reich via Kronos Quartet ("9/11 WTC"), and a collage of Bruce Springsteen radio references.
