What's New
The bipartisan Local Community Radio Act (HR 1147) sponsored by Rep. Mike Doyle, from Pittsburgh, and Lee Terry, from Nebraska, has reached 77 co-sponsors. This important piece of legislation will expand noncommercial, Low Power FM (LPFM) radio to towns and cities across the country.
Big consolidated media corporations have dominated the full-power FM market, eliminating local news and culture. LPFM stations provide colleges, communities, religious groups, non-profits and every day citizens a chance to bring their voices and concerns to the airwaves. PennPIRG will be working with coalition partners across the country to ensure the passage of this important media bill.
