Dear Colleagues -
The moment of truth is at hand for the community radio movement that has been building over the past year. The FCC is going to open a five-day window this October for full power FM public education radio license applications. This is an historic moment - the completion of the community radio map.
For Chicagoans, there is no direct impact in this announcement - despite our achingly arid airwaves, we do not have any available bandwidth. But for independent media producers and other active citizens, there is a critical networking opportunity - literally - in this window. The so-called collar counties of Chicago - including Dekalb, Will, Kendall - all have available bandwidth. A network of community radio stations could be developed and linked together - a Chicagoland Independent Radio Network.
