R&R: Satellite Stisters Goes Daily on XM

All Access (registration required): She said she'd do it a few months ago and she's gone ahead and done it: Rep. LOUISE SLAUGHTER (D-NY) has introduced an LPFM bill to get rid of third-adjacent-channel interference protection rules, the "Enhance and Protect Local COmmunity Radio Act of 2005." The BUFFALO-area legislator and ranking minority member of the House Rules Committee announced the bill at this week's FUTURE OF MUSIC COALITION summit; the bill joins a similar bill making its way through the Senate, sponsored by Sen. JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ).
