Court ruling puts WAFY license in jeopardy
A federal appeals court ruled 2-1 that FCC policy giving women priority in broadcast licenses is unconstitutional. Barbara Marmet, owner of WAFY in Braddock Heights, says she will not lose her license and cites multiple factors alongside gender. Broadcaster Jerome Lamprecht had challenged the policy, while the court urged the FCC to reallocate the license.
