The Center for International Media Action, Common Frequency and Prometheus Radio Project have made it known that they aren’t too keen with the rapid expansion of FM translators — often coming at the expense, as they see it, of community-oriented LPFMs. As such, they’ve been waging a fight against the latest round of FM translator applications.
On Friday, the FCC addressed the objectors’ Petition for Reconsideration for all pending translator applications — 994 of them in total.
“We dismiss all of the petitions except one,” the Bureau ruled.
