FCC Should Offer Immediate Support for AM Broadcasters, Says Pai

The FCC should provide immediate, short-term help for AM broadcasters for AM revitalization, Commissioner Ajit Pai said in a statement Monday. Pai applauded Chairman Tom Wheeler's announcement that he will circulate an item addressing AM revitalization (see 1412040059) in the next few weeks, he said. "There is nearly unanimous support in the record for the ideas put forward by the Commission under Acting Chairwoman [Mignon] Clyburn’s leadership," Pai said. The commission should work on these proposals in the next months, he said.
