Former FCC Commissioner ANDREW BARRETT says we must improve the inequities of minority broadcasters in an article for the CHICAGO DEFENDER.
The one-time commissioner asked the FCC to address the issue of minorities in broadcast radio that he has attempted to remedy since the '90s.
BARRETT cites the ability to hyper-localize content and advertising to enhance the localism bedrock of radio broadcasting, and continues that the solution is through new technologies that have already gone through a rigorous FCC commenting period and is now pending FCC approval.
