Clemons wants to go on legally

The article quotes US Attorney Carmen Ortiz: "“It is a public safety hazard
for illegal radio stations to broadcast, potentially interfering with
critical radio communications.".

When asked why Touch 106.1 FM did not get a license, Clemons said, “We
couldn’t. The FCC has shut it down so no one could apply for a license for
15 years. It’s not fair.”

Ortiz said stations like Clemons’ “could have applied for low power radio
licenses and operated their stations in compliance with the law.”

Good comments, Donna; also with regards to the FCC, they seem to be sitting
on the WBMT situation as has been mentioned before--they have waited for
years for a "hearing" and have been allowed to continue broadcasting
despite not having a license for some six years I believe.
