Default FCC starting out against "Non-commercial" ads

The FCC today acted against a 100-watt LPFM (Low Power FM--100 weatts or less)
station in Oklahoma.
They're putting on notice all NCE (Non-commercial Educational) stations that
they're going to start cracking down on blatant commercialism below 91.9 MHz
FM.

About time. "Public" stations are subsidized by tax payers in the form of
government grants, tax-deductions for contributions, and free spectrum.
Since most play only CDs and rebroadcast NPR news (as good as it is), they
really don't earn their free ride.

A DJ playing a stack of CDs is NOT educational radio.

Public stations pay no taxes, take tax monies to equip themselves, and take
advertising in violation of the law.

And people criticize the FCC for prosecuting Pirates?
