At 6:30pm Thursday July 8th 1999, FCC agents and Denver Police Officers entered the Capitol Underground studio, demanding to see a liscense. Dave Granger was on the air at the time, and was asked by the FCC agents to cease broadcasting immediately. After almost being arrested by Denver Police for not providing identification, the FCC confiscated the transmitter, antenae, and power supply from Capitol Underground. No arrests were made, and no fine was levied.
The Denver Radio Coalition and Capitol Underground will continue the fight to keep low-power FM stations on the air. We need your help now more than ever to lobby against the NAB, NPR, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to legalize Community Radio. Go to the Denver Radio Coalition homepage to find out how you can help get Capitol Underground back on the air.
