And in Knoxville Tennessee, the Federal Communications Commission has shut down community radio station * KFAR*. Yesterday morning three federal marshals raided the station’s studios and confiscated all of the station’s equipment. The three-year-old station was operating without an FCC license though it was in the process of applying for a license. One supporter of the station said, “The real criminals are the FCC officials who have given the public airwaves away to huge media conglomerates like Clear Channel.” KFAR stands for Knoxville First Amendment Radio.
