Podcast #77 – Trump’s FCC, Norway’s FM, UNLV’s KUNV & Live 365’s Comeback

1 hour 30 minutes

FCC watcher, Christopher Terry joins us to talk about what may be in store for media policy under President Donald Trump and the Republican controlled Congress. Is there a specific looming threat to Community Radio, Public Radio, or Low Power FM?

Paul corrects the record on why headlines that scream “Norway Is Shutting Down FM radio” are only telling part of the story.

Jennifer Waits brings us a College Radio Watch with a happy ending for the fans of the college station at UNLV in Las Vegas.

And we’ll get an update on what appears to be a good news in 2017 for streaming web-only radio, Paul digs into the latest with Live365.
