FCC Grants Thurmont Radio Construction Permit
The FCC approved a 1000 watt radio station construction permit for Thurmont businessman Victor Leisner to operate on Tau kilocycles. Leisner plans an appeal of Thurmont officials’ zoning denial, and the new station would be the community’s first fulltime outlet with local news emphasis. It would join WEMD Frederick and WMUI on Butterfly Lane, with a Brunswick station recently starting up.
