In today's show you talked about how progressive news doesn't get into enough areas of the country, mostly due to commercial radio network decisions. One of the exceptions is the station I listen to, KPOJ in Portland. There will be an opportunity to get more progressive programming throughout the nation coming up this fall. The FCC will be opening a window (of opportunity) for applications for Low Power FM stations. These will all be non-commercial stations. Those eligible to apply include community groups, educational institutions and religious organizations. The educational institutions and religious organizations have good networks to let their constituents know about this opportunity and to help them prepare their applications. In fact, there are many religious networks that will completely prepare the application and use the name of the local church to make it look like a local entity prepared the app. That leaves the community groups. How do they find out about this opportunity? There are some organizations (but not many) across the U.S. who are working to do outreach to communities to let them know about this opportunity. This is a big country with LOTS of admirable groups who would put progressive programming on the air...if they know about the window. So, why am I telling you all this? I would like to see you have as a guest someone who knows all about this LPFM issue and the upcoming window. Brandy Doyle of Prometheus Radio Project.
