Broadcasters challenge FCC plan for low power FM stations
The National Association of Broadcasters filed a petition with the U S Court of Appeals in DC seeking to overturn FCC rules authorizing hundreds of low power FM stations. They argue the decision is arbitrary and would cause interference to existing FM stations. FCC tests claim the service can be added without harming current broadcasts. The agency plans to issue noncommercial licenses to 100-watt and 10-watt groups by summer, far below common FM station power levels.
