WAVE OF FCC WARNINGS HITS TEXAS ANTI-WAR STATIONS
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
The Federal Communications Commission has issued eight individuals with "notices of unlicensed operation" over the last five days, seven of them from the Lone Star State. Activists in Texas say that these broadcasters carry programs provided by Radio Free Austin (RFC), an alternative radio service that offers features critical of the U.S. war in Iraq. The Commission's enforcement bureau sent notices to three residents of Austin and to residents of Dallas, Georgetown, Gonzales, and San Antonio. The warnings claim that the Commission's agents detected radio broadcasts emanating from the homes of these individuals at 95.7, 90.1, 100.1, and 101.5 MHz.
