The Chicago Independent Radio Project is working to secure a broadcast license for a new community radio station in Chicago that is committed to local, independent programming, and generally furthering the causes of localism, diversity, and independence in broadcasting. We are working to convince Congress and the FCC to remove existing barriers to the granting of low power FM radio licenses in urban areas, including Chicago. We hope you'll join the fight.

Illinois comes through with FCC comments

Posted by Shawn C. on April 11, 2008 around 12am

Now that the FCC comment filing period has ended, I wanted to say thanks to all of you who filed in support of CHIRP and community radio. Illinois generated 758 comments on low power FM, many of them from CHIRP members and friends. Your comments will be taken into consideration as the FCC considers its next moves on LPFM. It’s great to know we can count on you guys to help us out.
