For the radio industry, Prometheus Radio Project is the group that the Pai Commission successfully fought in winning Supreme Court approval in a 9-0 to move forward with its media ownership rule reform.
In the eyes of its founders, Prometheus is a 24-year old non-profit organization founded by a small group of radio activists in 1998 whose mission is to support “media democracy” and low-power FM radio. That explains their informal objections to 328 cross-service FM translator applications filed in the FCC’s Auction 99 and 100 windows. All but one of those petitions were dismissed. Now, the final petition in that group has been rendered moot, ending this latest Prometheus clash.
