Broadcast\r\nIndustry's OWN STUDIES prove that Independent Community and College Radio\r\nsignals are about to be jammed. Deadline\r\nfor public comments is March 21st.<\/b>\r\n<\/p>
Richmond, Virginia 2\/19\/02:\r\n<\/p>
Grassroots defenders of independent radio have found\r\nproof that a new airwaves regulatory plan will jam and eventually destroy\r\nthe signals of small community, religious, and college radio stations.\r\n<\/p>
A powerful coalition of mainstream broadcasters (National\r\nAssociation of Broadcasters, NAB) and the electronics manufacturers is\r\npressuring the FCC to force broadcasters to stop transmitting in the current\r\n\"analog\" transmissions. This could cause great harm to the public and independent\r\nradio stations, warns one of the country's experts in community radio issues.\r\n<\/p>
\"The proof is in the industry's own studies<\/i>,\"\r\naccording to Christopher Maxwell, Secretary of the Virginia Center for\r\nPublic Press, a non-profit educational organization supporting independent\r\nmedia and radio broadcasting.\r\n<\/p>
Preliminary testing by the National Association of\r\nBroadcasters (NAB) proved that serious damage to existing FM and AM signals\r\nwould occur, unless a third band was created solely for Digital Audio Broadcasting\r\n(DAB). So ironically, the same organization pushing for all-digital proved\r\nit would be harmful.\r\n\r\n<\/p>
