The Local Community Radio Act continues to move quickly through Congress! On Thursday, November 19 at 10 AM, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation will vote on the bill (S.592). Building on the unanimous passage out of the Energy & Commerce Committee in the House of Representatives, this progress in the Senate is the next step towards passage. Help us win this important victory for community media!

Well, for a few communities across the country, now may be the opportunity to start such a station. The FCC is opening up another window for Full Power Non-Commercial Educational (NCE) licenses from February 19-26, 2010. Unlike the last NCE window, these licenses are only available in 65 specific locations across the country.
