[Seattle-editorial] re feature article - question

[jonathan lawson]

Hi.

The way Congress restricted the new LPFM service (with the "Broadcasting 
Preservation Act" of 2000), there can currently be no new LPFM stations 
within urban areas like Seattle where the radio band is relatively packed. 
The open frequencies between larger stations (in Seattle there are about 
ten available frequencies) are prohibited for broadcasting because of their 
proximity to existing stations, even though pirates broadcasting during the 
NAB demonstrated that clean broadcasting on those channels was technically 
feasible.

For community radio (and other media) listings, see our community media page:
