UU Radio- LPFM Radio Permit

Imagine UU radio stations in every community across the United States! To move forward the FCC needs to know people care about this, otherwise theyll let existing radio stations gobble up the transmitter space to amplify their existing signals. They gave us a month to feedback we need to act right now. Please click here to tell the FCC you care about community radio (which could include UU Radio). No commitment, just express that you value community radio. It takes 30 seconds. Thank you. Want to know more about LPFM and the FCC?
