The FCC

The FCC issued “The Information Needs of Communities” and the report is available at: http://www.fcc.gov/info-needs-communities. The ACM’s Sylvia Strobel attended the briefing for the report at Columbia University and compiled a summary of the report’s recommendations.

The ACM staff has been working with members of the FCC in preparation of this report for the last year, and we especially thank our members for their comments and interviews with FCC staff. The suggested actions in the report are many, and the ACM will be launching several new programs in the coming months to parlay those recommendations into new business opportunities. The ACM Annual Conference in Tucson was a key starting point, as representatives from cable, public radio, LPFM, commercial broadcasting, social media, and the foundation community will be on hand to discuss “Innovation” for community media.
