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.

Send the FCC your comments on prioritizing new LPFM translators

Posted by Shawn C. on April 4, 2008 around 9am

Monday, April 7th is the deadline for FCC comments on prioritizing new LPFMs over translators. If you haven’t already written one, please file a comment encouraging the FCC to support LPFM at this link or by clicking the banner on the left of the page.

Don’t forget to include a line or two about CHIRP (call it by its full name - The Chicago Independent Radio Project) and your involvement. It really does make it more effective if you fill in a personal sentence or two and mention our group, rather than just sending the Prometheus message as is.

Also, please forward links to friends and family and ask them to comment too.

Thanks!
