Low Power FM Prometheus Radio Disputes NAB Claims

|  | June 23, 2006 Low Power FM organization Prometheus Radio is disputing yesterday’s NAB statement about new legislation over LPFM stations. "The NAB has delivered a CD to the Senate Commerce Committee staff that claims to demonstrate something that isn't true. With their CD the NAB says that allowing small community organizations, schools and churches to operate 100-watt radio stations will cause devastating interference to other stations on the FM band," the organization writes in a statement. The statement adds that the "recordings demonstrate nothing but the desperation of the NAB in its quest to protect its members and their 1,934 business models from new competition." According to Prometheus Radio, the examples given by the NAB were not good examples of what the organization was claiming, and did not involve LPFM stations. According to the NAB, the bill would eliminate “third adjacent channel interference protections” which help keep radio signals clear and sharp. The organization also released audio of stations as an example of the kind of interference that can occur when these protections are removed. |
