Broadcasting and Cable reports that the FCC has voted to eliminate "the almost eight-decade old requirement that broadcasters, radio and TV, maintain a main studio in or near their community of license." The National Association of Broadcasters expressed support for the change, saying the rule "has outlived its usefulness in an era of mobile news gathering and multiple content delivery platforms."
FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn opposed the move, saying it signified "embracing a world in which automated national programming is the new normal." Other critics saw the vote as easing the way for a Sinclair–Tribune merger.

> KKJZ (formerly KLON) is licensed to California State University, Long Beach.
When the university bought KLON, it shut down its student-run 10-watt, monaural FM station, KSUL [ksul.org]. KLON took over KSUL's studio. Check out the MP3 [ksul.org] with snippets of some KSUL programming.

Hmmm. I don't recall ever before seeing audio sampled at 112kbit.
The intro contains an interesting mix of genres.
It made me think of The Darkling Eclectica [kuci.org] out of KUCI from the University of California, Irvine.

It was before my time, but I understand that KSUL was what's known as free-form radio: the DJs could play what they pleased. Another page [socalradiowaves.com] tells its story (which I had paraphrased).
