Leave The License Where It Is Supposed To Be!

This little story popped up in my e-mail today from "Inside Radio"

Minority groups reject move-in proposal.The FCC is currently considering rule changes that would make it more difficult for owners to move stations from small towns into bigger cities. But dozens of groups are telling the FCC the change would “set back the clock” since most minority owners are only able to enter radio by buying outside the big cities.

Well, to that I say....why can't the minority groups license the station to the smaller community and operate from there? They'd be helping economic development in a small town and they'd still be putting a signal on the air. The idea of licensing a station to a community is to serve that community...not to serve the licensee. When are the so-called "broadcasters" of the world going to figure this out. Why is the FCC having difficulty understanding their own rules? Operate from your community of license damn it! The whole system of licensing stations is a joke...but I'm not laughing.
