Will Congress create thousands more Low Power FMs?

Future of Music Coalition

Reps. Mike Doyle and Lee Terry are poised to drop a bill into the hopper which would authorize the Federal Communications Commission to open up much more of the FM dial to low power community radio - presumably by letting the agency strip away full-power broadcasters' third-adjacent channel protection. Only Congress can do that, and that's the only way I can think of to accomplish this, technically speaking. We'll know more after this morning's press conference, led by the Future of Music Coalition. Why is it interested in Low Power FM? The Coalition believes that licensing more stations is a way around "corporate radio." Some other folks also think that putting more LPFMs up for grabs, especially in larger markets, might discourage pirates.


I got this from teh front page of the site and it made me think how does this affect us in CT what do you guys think?
 
instead of the lp's doing good so far its being doing bad for many good stations. an example of this is 105.1 TOS hell when I am at sunday river ME skiing occasionally that other 105.1 LP interferes all the way for portland!

No reception is perfect when driving between cities...................

Anyway I think it's a great idea. There are far too few choices. I barely want to turn my radio on anymore.
