FCC: Educational radio stations don't have to share airtime

'Several educational radio stations across Indiana will not have to share their airtime with Hoosier Public Radio, a federal agency ruled. The Federal Communications Commission has rejected six attempts by Marty Hensley, director of Hoosier radio, based in Greenfield, to force the stations to share with his nonprofit company. ... An FCC rule allows one broadcaster to use another's frequency for part of the day if the educational station's owner uses less than 12 hours of airtime.
The rulings affect the student-run stations at four Indianapolis-area high schools, a religious broadcaster in Vincennes, and a National Public Radio station owned by Western Kentucky University.'
