The Guidelines have been derived from the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treat- ment of Historic Properties and are specifi cally crafted to meet the needs of the City of Manitou Springs, Colorado. The Guidelines require reasonable application. Their purpose in the design approval process is to maintain and protect: • The historic integrity of individual structures and historic features in the District • The unique architectural character of the different sub-districts • The distinctiveness of the city as a whole The Guidelines provide a tool for property owners and the Commission to use in determining whether a proposal is appropriate to the long-term interests of the District. The parameters set forth in the Guidelines also support opportunities for design creativity and individual choice. Our application of the Guidelines encourages a balance between function and preservation, accommodating the needs of property

  • The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio
    THE STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE OF POLITICAL TALK RADIO A Joint Report by The Center for American Progress and Free Press June 21, 2007 Center for American Progress Authors John Halpin, Senior Fellow and Executive Speechwriter James Heidbreder, Research Intern Mark Lloyd, Senior Fellow Paul Woodhull, Special Adviser Free Press Authors Ben Scott, Policy Director Josh Silver, Executive Director S. Derek Turner, Research Director Report Design and Layout, Center for American Progress Adorna Williams, Art Director Andrew Pratt, Special Assistant Shannon Ryan, Graphic Designer Introduction espite the dramatic expansion of viewing and listening options for consum- ers today, traditional radio remains one of the most widely used media Dformats in America. Arbitron, the national radio ratings company, reports that more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week, “a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet.”1 Although listening hours have declined slightly in recent years, Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006.2 Among radio formats, the combined news/talk format (which includes news/talk/ information and talk/personality) leads all others in terms of the total number of sta- tions per format and trails only country music in terms of national audience share.3 Through more than 1,700 stations across the nation, the combined news/talk format is estimated to reach more than 50 million listeners each week.4 As this report will document in detail, conservative talk radio undeniably dominates the format: ß Our analysis in the spring of 2007 of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top fi ve commercial station owners reveals that 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and 9 percent is progressive.

As the Commission recognized in the Notice, the best way to help the largest number of AM stations to quickly and efficiently improve their service is to open such an AM-only window. Any other approach will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for AM stations, to obtain the translators they urgently need to remain competitive and provide our communities with the service they deserve.

  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.
