Beyond Stupidity?


St. Louis: I am rather bummed to see that my old college radio station (for whom I dj'd for 3 years) has yet again been refused a wattage upgrade by the FCC.

KWUR (at Washington University in St. Louis) is one of the only things worth listening to in St. Louis, and the only station playing anything other than top 40 music. Unfortunately, their 10 watt transmitter only broadcasts to a radius of about a mile or so. They've been trying for years to get approval to go up to 100 Watts, but for one bureaucratic reason or another keep getting refused. The FCC has once again done a disservice to St. Louis listeners.
