On August 31st, Pirate Cat Radio was fined $10,000 by the Federal
Communications Commission, for extra-legal broadcasts. Pirate Cat Radio has
responded to the FCC and is currently challenging this fine. Proliferation
of extra legal stations persuaded the FCC that it needed to make provisions
for new local FM broadcasting, which it finally did with Low Power FM in the
year 2000. That has served the public interest. Pirate Cat Radio has shown
that there are significant unmet local and neighborhood program needs, and
that further reforms in the licensing scheme are needed. The Communications
Act of 1934 give the FCC the task of studying new uses for radio, provide
for experimental uses of frequencies, and generally encourage the larger and
more effective use of radio in the public interest. Monkey the founder of
Pirate Cat Radio says " The FCC should be helping organizations like ours to
obtain a license and continue serving our communities, not to fine us and
attempt to destroy a community resource."
