As you have probably heard, Federal Communications Chairman Kevin Martin
is pushing hard to make media consolidation -- too few companies owning
too much media -- even worse. One week from today, he's expected to let
just one company own the daily newspapers, radio stations, and TV
stations in America's biggest cities.
Community radio supporters have fought for years to not just stop media
consolidation, but to roll it back -- bringing new voices to cities and
towns, large and small. Don't miss your chance to stand up for diverse
and accountable media in the United States!
Take a stand now. You can file a comment at the FCC here:

roll it back -- making space for community radio, accountable,
independent media, and more!
You can also ask Congress to tell the FCC to study the impact of media
consolidation on female and minority voices before they make any move to
consolidate. You can do so here:

PS -- 2008 will be our biggest year yet for expanding low power FM
radio. With the successes we've earned this year in Congress and the
FCC, we will all need to work together to tell Washington that community
radio in every town in the nation is our right! Stay tuned for more
information about how you can get involved.
