I know, right?
Twice in the past four days Pitchfork.com has made reference to goings-on in our neck of the woods. First a mention of Century Plants, now this.
Marc Hogan has penned a lengthy analysis of the Local Community Radio Act, a piece of legislation that will open the radiowaves to a proliferation of noncommercial FM radio stations. It's a topic I explored two weeks ago in "Community Transmissions," about WGXC: Hands-On Radio, a Hudson Valley-based station that may become a model for the kind that will spring up in the wake of this act. The article does a good job situating this development in the scheme of the contemporary radio landscape and highlights the work of the Prometheus Radio Project, an advocacy group that was critical to the bill's passage. The WGXC station at the Catskill Community Center is pictured in the piece.
