Re: LPFM vs NAB

[Jibguy@aol.com]

Well folks, LPFM has been voted to pass by 3 of the 5 FCC Commissioners. All 
LPFM's must be "non-commercial".   That's a joy for prospective religious 
broadcasters, since the non-comm status should likely discourage individuals 
from applying for an LPFM, thereby leaving more freqs open to Non-Commercial 
(hee hee) aggressive religious broadcasters.  But keep in mind that ANYone 
can set up a non-profit org (for the preservation of Louisana Swamp Music 
[for example]) and air such product on their station. (and seek on-air 
donations).  How 'bout preservation of 1980's rock music....  whatever.
    The NAB has stated that they will "vow to aggressively seek ways to undo 
the damage" regarding LPFM.  I believe that they will be unsuccessful, or at 
least not entirely successful.
    So, folks, get your applications ready.
