BROWN ADVOCATES FOR LOCAL RADIO STATIONS Posted by: Brown Staff (February 13, 2009, 04:24 PM)
I recently joined over 110 of my colleagues as a co-sponsor to a bipartisan House resolution opposing the introduction of "any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge" on local radio stations. The Local Radio Freedom Act (H. Con. Res 49), unveiled today at a Capitol Hill event hosted by the Free Radio Alliance, would protect all local radio stations in the First District and all over the nation from having incurring additional costs due to the broadcasting of sound recordings on their station.

BROWN BELIEVES AMERICANS WERE READY FOR DTV TRANSFER Posted by: Brown Staff (February 04, 2009, 06:02 PM)
BROWN BELIEVES AMERICANS WERE READY FOR DTV TRANSFER
Contradictory to the illogical decision made today to postpone the February 17th digital television transition, I believe the American public was ready for the change. The following numbers from a January Nielsen report confirm just this: • 94.3% of American homes already had one or more TVs ready for change over. • Only 12.8% of TV households in America were exclusively using analog airwaves. • Coupons had been sent to 94.4% of the households only using analog. • Only 800,000 analog airwave households had not yet received a coupon and 600,000 of these homes were on the waiting list. • Meaning only 200,000 households, less than 2% of analog airwave homes or less than .02% of all American TV homes had nothing. Read more of my original release opposing the DTV Delay. Get more information on the DTV Transfer, how it may impact you and steps you can take to prepare for the upcoming transition.
