United Church of Christ hails passage of the Local Community Radio Act

The U.S. Congress has approved legislation that allows community radio broadcasting on the Low Power FM broadcast spectrum, which is expected to be approved by President Obama. The Local Community Radio Act is generally considered as a means for local communities to use the public airwaves.

Consequently, the former United Church of Christ communications director and past executive of the UCC Office of Communications, Inc., the Rev. Robert Chase, has stated his approval for those who have fought to see this legislation come to fruition.

The New York Theological Seminary is an institution dedicated to multiculturalism, diversity, social justice and religious tolerance. The mission of the seminary is to prepare men and women, from every background, for careers in ministry.
