    FCC Cracking Down On Unlicensed Broadcasters

    Sure seems to have been a lot of these stories lately... two examples... (I have more stashed on the home PC)

    Nice to know Laura's enforcement crew is busy policing the broadcast bands.

    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.

    I must have missed it. Are these the guys running LPFM without FCC approval? I'm assuming so because it got out of hand in FLA during the late 90s and up to mid 2000s. I guess a few guys upped their power and kept it up.

    In a word: Yes.

    If you are operating without a license then you should get busted. How about a little bit of jail time for these folks. They can broadcast on the prison radio station while they are serving their time.

    Yeah, I agree with you, John. Orphans should be forced to work for the state as part of a lease program to private industry.
    How about we focus less on punitiveness and more on education and respecting the community?

    Education ?? Bah...Humbug. Who needs education when we can have plain ol' fashon hawse sense like Bachman has. And community ? Community sounds too close to "communist" for comfort.

    Spoken like a real educator.

    Bet that's why they were busted....educating the community by broadcasting the truth. Can't possibly allow that, can we?
