NPR President Kevin Klose never asked the stations that he supposedly represents if they want him to oppose Low Power FM !! At the NPR board meeting last month, several NPR affiliates testified that they supported LPFM and were never asked by Klose. Michael Brasher, manager of NPR affiliate KANW, Albuquerque NM said, "I felt a little like a citizen might feel if he woke up one morning to find that a new president had been elected, but nobody told him there was an election. Frankly, I really doubt that the position taken ... represents the true feelings of the men and women who work in National Public Radio and in our stations.!" ----------------------------- Tell your NPR affiliate that you will pledge when they publicly denounce NPR national president Kevin Klose's continued attack on LPFM church and educational civic radio stations. Tell the president and Senators what you think of NPR kicking thousands of churches and educational groups off the air! [EMAIL PROTECTED] 202-456-1414 Voice 202-456-2461 Fax http://www.radiocitizen.com -------------------------------- PS: More Info: Techno-Babble, how they sneak your rights away National Public Radio (NPR) President Kevin Klose supports the US Senate bill, "Broadcast Preservation Act of 2000" (SB3020) that would ban most Low Power FM (LPFM) radio station applications. The LPFM rules create new slots on the FM dial for tiny under-100watt church and civic association stations by letting our tiny stations use "third adjacent frequencies" JUST like hundreds of existing hugely powerful stations like 100,000 watt Classical music WCPE use to squeeze onto congested dials. "Broadcast Preservation" would deny us the use of the same "third adjacent frequencies" rules WCPE enjoys. The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and NPR claim that if we are allowed to compete by doing the same thing their "Short Spaced" stations have done for decades at a fraction of their power ... there will be massive interference. Ironically the NAB themselves convinced the FCC in 1996 that their "Short Spaced" stations are not a problem, and they are not being taken off the air by the "Broadcast Preservation Act" that NPR President Kevin Klose supports.
