Broadcasters lose in court over low-power FM radio

Supporters of low-power FM (LPFM) radio won a victory on Friday when a federal appeals court rejected a lawsuit to stop the Federal Communications Commissions from protecting LPFM stations from full power station signal interference. “This is terrific news for the low power radio community,” declared Sakura Saunders of the Prometheus Radio Project, which helps LPFMs. “Now, these stations can focus on serving their local communities, rather than live in fear of displacement due to the whims of their full-powered neighbors.”
