A BILL
BILL SUMMARY
To provide funding for an FM Frequency Search.

BILL HISTORY
During the last two years there has been increased interest in the
acquisition of an F.M. broadcast facility for KAIR.
At this time there are no existing available broadcasting frequencies on
the Front Range between Ft. Collins and Colorado Springs.
There is one unused unavailable frequency. This now is under the
control of Western Bilingual Broadcasting. According to their local contact
and the Denver Field Office of FCC, there is no chance in the foreseeable
future for acquisition of that frequency.
Another possibility of F.M. frequency would be to buy an existing
station. After contacting the two most unsuccessful F.M. stations in our
area, we found neither willing to sell.
Therefore at this time our best alternative is to search the airspace for
an available low-powered F.M. frequency.

BE IT ENACTED by the Executive Council of the University of Colorado Student
Union, THAT:
SECTION 1:

UCSU shall allocate $2,000 from Central Reserve for an F.M.
Frequency Search.

SECTION 2:

This Frequency Search shall investigate both the commercial
and non-commercial areas of the dial.

SECTION 3:

The UCSU understands this search shall provide:
A.
B.
C.
D.

Knowledge of available frequency space
Diagrams and maps of suggested antenna location
Completion of necessary paperwork for FCC filing
A total cost of less than $2,000 if no available
frequency is found

SECTION 4:

UCSU understands this is the first in a multi-step
process to acquire an F.M. license for CU.

SECTION 5:

The funding for this legislation shall be available upon passage.
