Broadcast radio is dying to the point that it's difficult to purchase a high end FM tuner now-- pretty much anything that exists is old models. Heck, used XDR-F1HD regularly sell for twice their original price. In many places big chunks of the dial are vacant, and where it isn't a few companies own most of the stations. The public and the industry needs more pirate radio -- if the political will to undo the regulatory capture that's killed LPFM can't be fixed quickly. Instead of enhancing penalties, they should instead be limited to actual damages for signal interruption to licensed stations plus no more than 2x whatever licensing would have cost had the FCC been willing to issue a license, which they're usually not.
