Great news! The bipartisan Local Community Radio Act is scheduled for a vote Thursday in the House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet. The long-awaited bill would finally allow the nationwide expansion of noncommercial, community-based Low Power FM (LPFM) stations, like WPVM.

Read Prometheus’s statement on this week’s hearing:

“TOMORROW Congress will debate the Local Community Radio Act (H.R. 1147) on Thursday, Oct 8 at 10 am, in the House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet.

The Local Community Radio Act would allow the FCC to license hundreds of new low power non-commercial radio stations nationwide.

Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) reaffirmed his support for the Local Community Radio Act to an enthusiastic crowd at the Future of Music Coalition Policy Summit on Tuesday, calling it “our Christmas present this year.” Rep. Doyle has been leading the push for Low Power FM in Congress, along with lead co-sponsor Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE).

This is closest the bill has ever been to passage. We need your help! Contact your representative and tell them to SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITY RADIO!”
