Capitol Bill Would Ban Low-power Fm
FRANK SAXE
It is among the shortest pieces of legislation introduced this session, but the Radio Broadcasting Preservation Act of 1999 would have a profound effect on the industry.
It is sponsored by Rep. Michael Oxley, R-Ohio, and is co-sponsored by four other House members.
Not surprisingly, National Assn. of Broadcasters president Eddie Fritts praised the bill, saying it would "stop the FCC's misguided initiative."
FCC Chairman Bill Kennard, who has made low-power FM one of his champion causes, declined to comment.
