Christian groups call for looser application cap on upcoming NCE window

CHRISTIAN GROUPS CALL FOR LOOSER APPLICATION CAP ON UPCOMING NCE WINDOW
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
Groups and individuals continue to weigh in on whether the Federal Communications Commission should put a strict limit on the number of Non-Commercial Educational (NCE) radio station applications that any non-profit can file for. Most commenters support the idea; but some Christian outfits want to relax the rule. "Without a numerical filing limit there is the possibility of a single applicant filing dozens to even hundreds of stations across the U.S.," argue three advocates who commented with the FCC in late July. "This goes against the original intent of a reserved educational channel - one set outside the competitive marketplace, within the grasp of local or regional educational institutions and non-profits."
