This week, one of the nation’s key advocacy groups for African American broadcasters called on Members of Congress to support the Local Radio Freedom Act, a resolution that would “protect” AM and FM radio stations from “being forced to pay significant additional new performance royalties.”
The call to back the LRFA came from National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters President Jim Winston, on a day when the U.S. House of Representatives voted 415-14 to make Juneteenth, or June 19, the nation’s twelfth federal holiday.
With President Joe Biden’s signature set to affirm Congress’ vote, and renewed attention to the African American community, we are pleased to share this encore RBR+TVBR InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM, featuring Adam R Jacobson’s interview with Winston.
