While health care reform has seemed to
dominate the Congress for all of 2010 thus far,
community radio enthusiasts have been waiting
for action on the Senate version of the Local
Community Radio Act. The House passed its
version back in mid-December and now the full
Senate is set to take up their bill during the
spring term, although the exact date is still up in
the air.

If passed the Act would restore low-power
community radio to the standards the FCC
originally set for the service when it was created.
These standards were made stricter by Congress
at the behest of the National Association of
Broadcasters via a last-minute addition to an
omnibus budget bill at the very close of 2000. As
a result many of the country’s largest radio
markets with dials too full for new full-power stations were also deprived of the
chance to have new low-power community stations. Now the hope to realize the full
potential of LPFM is greater than it’s been since December, 2000.

Because the Local Community Radio Act has the support of several high-ranking
senators, the LPFM advocacy group Prometheus Radio Project predicts “quick
movement to pass this bill through Unanimous Consent.”
