The SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE once again approved a Low Power FM bill proposed by Sen. JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ) in a 14-7 vote WEDNESDAY morning. The vote followed MCCAIN's defeat on a cable TV a la carte bill by a 20-2 vote; the LPFM bill would strip third-adjacent-channel protection for full power FMs, although Sen FRANK LAUTENBERG (D-NJ) added a clause that excepts stations in "significantly populated states" from the new rule.
