Hyperlocal radio
: Glenn Reynolds is celebrating that FCC honcho Michael Powell is talking about getting moving with low-power FM stations. There’s one thing more that they could do: Open it up not only to noncommercial use (that’s the law today) but also to small-scale, local commercial use. If you really want this thing to grow, then let the people who make the investment of money and time at least make their money back. That will energize what otherwise is bound to be a listless media fizzle.
