fm band expands?

From The Medium is the Message byEric Schnell.

Schnell thinks that if the FCC expands the FM band to take over analog channels it might increase the number of community radio stations. Viva diversity!

Two Live Broadcasts from WEFT 90.1

Live From the Streets of Minneapolis – St. Paul
4-6PM - Tuesday, September 2 WEFT 90.1FM
March and Rally @ The Republican National Convention

Live coverage and interviews of the upcoming march built around economic
themes. Participants will include homeless people, disabled people,

of current socio-economic policies.
