Comments Due July 23 on Petition for FM Boosters, Translators

The FCC sought comment on a petition from a group of broadcasters asking the agency to authorize program origination for FM translators and FM boosters. The petition seeks “a uniform FCC rule change for both FM boosters and FM translators to allow each to originate programming content provided that the primary station is retransmitted for no fewer than 40 hours in any calendar week,” emailed Womble Bond's John Garziglia, who represents the Broadcasters for Limited Program Origination. Comments are due in RM-11858 July 23, per Wednesday's Daily Digest.
