Local Community Radio Act passes House

Carly Nix passes along this link, excerpted below:

The Local Community Radio Act passed the House of Representatives Wednesday evening with a resounding voice vote and now moves to the Senate. The bill will open the airwaves for hundreds of new non-commercial stations across the country, bringing low power radio to urban areas for the first time.

After the bill passes the Senate, the FCC can finally move forward with the low power radio service, licensing 100-watt stations to community groups nationwide.
