The Boston Herald is reporting that a local High School’s radio station faces the chop after 35 years as a network of Christian broadcasting stations seizes their frequency.

Maynard High School’s radio frequency, 91.7 FM, is being seized by a network of Christian broadcasting stations that the Federal Communications Commission has ruled is a better use of the public airwaves. “People are furious”, said faculty adviser Joe Magno.

Maynard High’s WAVM, which has been broadcasting from the school for 35 years, found itself in this David vs. Goliath battle when it applied to increase its transmitter signal from 10 to 250 watts. According to Magno, that “opens the floodgates for any other station to challenge the station’s license and take its frequency.”

I love the part that states that the “Federal Communications Commission has ruled is a better use of the public airwaves”… I guess “Kum ba yah” will be topping the charts next month.
