Ithinktheyshould have opened up a new radio band exclusively for lpfm
broadcasting.

Then the full-power broadcasters wouldn't be able to use the excuse
they're
using now.

Of course then, they would have used some other excuse.


They would have had to tell the truth.... that they were afraid that
something fresh, new and local would erode their listener base, and
therefor
their profits..


Of course the licenses the FCC did issue, for the most part, are a total
waste of spectrum space. Who really listens to garbage like TIS and garbage
dump hours, or more religeous stations (seems to me there are plenty of
those already on the air, including about a thousand satelators for a couple
large Christian stations).
