 by Lupito Flores, KYRS Spokane
In April, Gavin Dahl (Boise Community Radio), Erubiel Valladares-Carranza (KPCN Woodburn) and I traveled to Washington DC, representing the Northwest Community Radio Network as part of Prometheus Radio Project's Low Power FM lobby days. Along with community radio activists from across the country, we worked to help build support for the Local Community Radio Act, a bill in Congress right now which will expand Low Power FM stations like KYRS, and save those that are threatened by encroaching commercial stations. The Senate bill was introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell and John McCain, and the House version is co-sponsored by Rep. McMorris-Rogers (WA).
In Washington, we met with Senator Cantwell and her legislative assistant Michael Daum--both champions of community radio. I also met with Jason Park, Legislative Assistant to Senator Murray, who has yet to sign on to the bill. He didn't offer any reasons why the Senator hasn't signed on. We provided him with lots of background information and reminded him that the Congressionally-mandated MITRE study proved that LPFMs do not interfere with full power stations.
