Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe · CMAP's FCC Actions Alert Substack

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has sided with Black Power Radio against Pinellas County in Florida, finding that its parent organization, the African People’s Education and Defense Fund, “plausibly alleged both direct and circumstantial evidence that the County acted with a prohibited discriminatory intent.”

Here’s a link to the opinion. More details to come.

In addition, here’s a head’s up, that tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 1, is the deadline for the early bird discount and the student early bird discount for The Avant Radio Fest!

This new conference for the LPFM world is being organized by WFMU, Wave Farm, and ARTxFM and is focused on the creative and experimental nature of radio. It runs from Nov. 13 through Nov. 15 at WFMU’s Monty Hall & Art House in Jersey City, New Jersey. Register here.
