ACRN's one and only goal is to educate students in commercial radio.
Money earned from selling airtime is funneled right back into operations.
The local cable supplier in Athens is going to stop carrying ACRN'S signal sometime in the next six to twelve months, so it was with considerable interest that we here at ACRN read about comments by Mr. Kennard about the possible licensing of low-power FM transmitters. A transmitter has always been part of ACRN's long-term planning, and the microradio proposal as set before the Commission would be a boon to our operations. Any sort of proposal that brings down to an affordable sum the cost of an FM license would be highly beneficial. Only a handful of stations operate out of Athens proper, with a smattering of additional outlets situated around the neighboring towns. Interference possibilities should ACRN move to low-power FM transmissions would be infinitesimal.
