Stop the Static. Open the Radio Dial Now. Are you sick of hearing the same talk radio blowhards and cookie-cutter music on the radio in Ipswich? By passing one bill, we can open the radio dial to more than a thousand stations with fresh new voices and alternative music, ending decades of radio domination by Big Media and their mouthpieces. The Local Community Radio Act of 2009 (H.R. 1147) was just introduced in the House. The Act nearly passed in the last Congress with the support of more than 100 members -- including Rep. John Tierney. With just a little urging from you, Rep. Tierney will support the bill in this Congress and help usher in a new era of better radio: Tell Congress to Open Up the Radio Dial This Act would open up the airwaves to more Low Power FM (LPFM) radio stations, giving people across the country a chance to break into radio. It would bring thousands of new voices to a radio dial that’s too often a megaphone for Big Media. Please get Rep. Tierney on board by clicking below and signing the letter: Dear Rep. Tierney: The Time for Better Radio Is Now Rural communities from Ringgold, Ga., to Woodburn, Ore., have benefited tremendously from their own LPFM stations, which bring local perspectives, music, news and information to the public airwaves. The Local Community Radio Act would open urban areas to local radio, too. Organizations like the Chicago Independent Radio Project, which promises to restore local independent programming to the radio dial, are ready to go -- but they need your help. A few companies have dominated the radio dial for too long, muting the voices of so many others. Make sure that Rep. Tierney makes better radio a reality now.
