    On June 11, 2009, at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet on H.R. 1147, the Local Community Radio Act, Congressman Doyle questioned witnesses from the Federal Communications Commission and the National Association of Broadcasters about whether existing stations would experience significant interference if Congress enacted the Local Community Radio Act, which would allow the FCC to license thousands of new community-oriented low-power FM radio stations across the country. There appeared to be very little justification for concern.

    Considering both LPFMs and full power stations have the same requirements to run weather and other such warnings, I don't really see much of a problem even if in certain locations there might be some static of the full power station. I personally no longer listen to full power stations because in my town all of them are owned by Cumulus and because of that I can go from station to station and hear the same things, I'd like to have a real choice and adding a few LPFMs would help diversify.

    It's not a double standard. Doyle is over simplifying the process.Look at it this way: Put 100 people (full-power stations) in a room talking at full voice. Add 15 more talking in a whisper (translators). The 15 won't affect the 100 very much. Now add 200 more people (LPFMs) talking in a whisper. That's the kind of interference we're talking about.This is not a political issue. There's real science involved.

    Brilliant! Rep Doyle calls the NAB out on their double-standards!
