Back then it set up rules to protect broadcasts in the nearby Satellite Digital Audio Radio (SDARS) zone. But now: <blockquote>“Certain WCS technical rules, particularly the out-of-band emission (OOBE) limits, largely preclude the provision of mobile broadband services in the spectrum. Based on an extensive record, the FCC should revise certain technical rules, including the WCS OOBE limits, to enable robust mobile broadband use of the 2.3 GHz WCS spectrum, while protecting federal, non-federal AMT and satellite radio operations in the neighboring SDARS band.” </blockquote> The document doesn’t explain how the FCC will propose to do this. As we’ve reported, earlier this month, the agency suggested a non-interference plan to a meeting of Sirius and WCS engineers. Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin told the agency he was <a href="http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2010/03/05/sirius-xm-extremely-disturbed-by-fcc-wireless-non-interference-proposals/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2010/03/05/sirius-xm-extremely-disturbed-by-fcc-wireless-non-interference-proposals/');" target="_blank">“extremely disturbed”</a> about the proposal upon learning of its details. And since Sirius XM fans got wind of this news, they’ve been <a href="http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/execute?proceeding=07-293" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/comment_search/execute?proceeding=07-293');" target="_blank">deluging the FCC’s database</a> with protests. But the Commission is clearly determined to get WCS the spectrum it needs, somehow. It’s part of the agency’s plan to get 500 megahertz of license space available for broadband within the next decade, “of which 300 megahertz between 225 MHz and 3.7 GHz should be made newly available for mobile use within five years.” </blockquote> <a href="http://radioinsight.com/fcc-national-broadband-plan-give-wireless-band-next-to-sirius-20-mhz/" target="_blank">FCC National Broadband Plan: give wireless band next to Sirius 20 MHz</a>  Lance Venta on "Cumulus Puts Q100 in the Bush League" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18738#post-75098 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:02:28 +0000 Lance Venta 75098@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ <div class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo">Posted by unregistered user: </div><blockquote></blockquote> <a href="http://radioinsight.com/cumulus-puts-q100-in-the-bush-league/" target="_blank">Cumulus Puts Q100 in the Bush League</a>  Admin on "This Land is Glenn Beck’s Land?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18737#post-75097 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:16:51 +0000 Admin 75097@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ <blockquote><div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 187px"><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woody_Guthrie_NYWTS.jpg" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woody_Guthrie_NYWTS.jpg');" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Woody_Guthrie_NYWTS.jpg" alt="" width="177" height="222" /></a> Woody Guthrie (source: wikimedia commons) </div> Glenn Beck is great at riling people up, but not so good at demographics. In his <a href="http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/37786/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/37786/');" target="_blank">March 11 radio broadcast</a>, Beck began a discussion of government land ownership by claiming that the government owns 98% of Nevada’s land (actually the most recent records state that the ownership percentage is <a href="http://www.gsa.gov/gsa/cm_attachments/GSA_DOCUMENT/Annual%20Report%20%20FY2004%20Final_R2M-n11_0Z5RDZ-i34K-pR.pdf" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.gsa.gov/gsa/cm_attachments/GSA_DOCUMENT/Annual%20Report%20%20FY2004%20Final_R2M-n11_0Z5RDZ-i34K-pR.pdf');" target="_blank">84.5%</a>). Since statistics are obviously not his strong suit, Beck moved on to interpret the lyrics of Woody Guthrie’s <a href="http://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/This_Land.htm" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/This_Land.htm');" target="_blank">“This Land is Our Land.”</a> Beck finds the song to be unpatriotic. He worries about what we are teaching our children when they learn this song in grade school. What’s wrong with this song, to Beck? Its alleged praise of communism of course! Beck finds the communist message in the lines “In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the Relief Office I seen my people; As they stood hungry, I stood there asking, Is this land made for you and me?” Beck acknowledges Guthrie wrote the song in 1940, but fails to acknowledge the song’s connection to the Great Depression. He claims the song suggests that the relief office helped, while the church did nothing. In fact, Glenn, the relief office helped when the church could not. When the Great Depression first hit, the government relied on private help. This meant help from the private citizens and companies, and from, yes, religious institutions. However, this help quickly ran out, unable to provide enough food and resources to starving Americans. In 1932, the people elected FDR and by doing so, asked for the assistance of the Federal government. The support for Federal government aid endorsed by “This Land is Our Land” threatens Beck’s vision of America. He worries that American people who sing this song don’t understand that the Federal government is slowing taking over their nation, their land. Beck wants to demonstrate that if the Guthries win, the good, honest, hardworking Americans will lose. Beck points to Guthrie’s verse, claiming it showed a neglectful church. He does not acknowledge that relying on private charity alone failed the American people. The Federal government had to step in to carry America through the 1930s. But that’s not Glenn Beck’s version of America, so to talk about that is to be un-American. </blockquote> <a href="http://radioinsight.com/this-land-is-glenn-beck%e2%80%99s-land/" target="_blank">This Land is Glenn Beck’s Land?</a>  Lance Venta on "Is The Box Coming To Charleston, SC?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18736#post-75096 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:23:25 +0000 Lance Venta 75096@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ <div class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo">Posted by unregistered user: </div><blockquote><a href="http://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2010/03/925thebox.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2010/03/925thebox.png" alt="" title="B92 92.5 The Box WIHB Charleston 95SX WSSX Z93 WWWZ WXST Star 99.7 Apex Broadcasting" width="175" height="202" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3231" /></a> Apex Broadcasting appears to be on the verge of flipping CHR “<a href="http://www.b92online.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.b92online.com/');" target="_blank">B92</a>” WIHB Charleston, SC to Urban as “92.5 The Box”.
