"A pending decision by the Federal Communications Commission could bring CSN International one step closer to a much stronger Massachusetts presence � at the potential expense of noncommercial and college stations. If the syndicate is allowed to transmit its satellite feed, 20,000 watts strong, from a tower in Plymouth, it could muddle the signal of many lower-power stations � including Boston College�s student-run WZBC (90.3 FM) � for several hundred thousand listeners on the South Shore. It would also set a terrible precedent, allowing a nationwide broadcaster to take up valuable FM bandwidth with syndicated programming antithetical to the local spirit noncommercial radio is supposed to support."
