NPR Meets With Shuldiner on FM6

NPR supports an FCC proposal to eliminate requirements that noncommercial educational (NCE) FM stations protect channel 6 television stations from interference, it said in a call with FCC Audio Division Chief Albert Shuldiner Wednesday, according to an ex parte filing posted Friday in docket 03-185. NPR and Shuldiner also discussed “the parameters” of the FCC’s draft FM6 NPRM (see 2205180065) and “how NPR’s concerns about the continuing operation of FM6 may be relevant.” NPR historically opposed the continued operations of FM6 stations (see 2006100036).
