On behalf of the musicFIRST Coalition ("mF") and the Future of Music Coalition ("FMC"), on October 1, Rachel filed Reply Comments to the Federal Communications Commission, refuting the National Association of Broadcasters' dubious claims that it would be in the public interest for the FCC to allow further deregulation of AM/FM radio stations at local market levels.

These Reply Comments can be read in their entirety here.
