It's also rather illegal, since LPFM's cannot be owned by entities that
already own or have attributable interest in an existing broadcast entity
(with certain, VERY specific exceptions). Not to mention the point system
that weighs heavily on the side of local ownership and locally-originated
programming. How is VPR getting around this?
