I would encourage everyone who believes in locally operated media to attend
this event, it is a really big deal.

In case you are unfamiliar with what this will mean, here is a description
one of my fellow DJ's at WXDU wrote:
The loosening of regulations would make it even easier for companies like
Clear Channel to own more stations in a given market.    Stations that are
owned by a large, national corporation, and which receive the bulk of their
programming via satellite feeds that are the same in every city, lose their
local flavor, put local radio people out of jobs, and have completely
changed the face of commercial radio as compared to how it was in the 70's
and 80's.

If anyone would like any more information on the event, please go to:
