Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C 20554 In the Matter of Applications of Satellite CD Radio Inc. for authority to Construct, Launch and Operate a Digital Audio Satellite System PETITION TO DENY Opposition Comments of Robert D. Augsburg, President of Southwest Florida Community Radio Inc. pursuant to the Public Notice released October 13, 1992, herewith submits comments in opposition to the allocation of 2310—2360 mhz for satellite broadcast and application of any party for the use of that frequency band including Satellite CD Radio Inc. (CD Radio) which is under consideration by the Commission in the above referenced proceeding. In support, I submit the following: I ask the Commission to deny the rights of organizations to bring Satellite radio to the consumer because of the tremendous adverse effect it will have on the local broadcaster. In my associations with other broadcasters, there is no question that this technology will greatly hinder and even cause many stations to cease operations .

It is just too difficult to operate a fulltime local broadcast station in todays economy. The addition of Satellite radio signals to homes and automobiles will in my opinion and the opinion of thousands of other broadcasters, will be disas— terous. Simply put, localism will not be able to survive with the addition of Satellite delivered CD Radio, particularly in markets where competition is already intense. Please consider the interests of us small local broadcasters and not the interests of a select few large monopolies who will be the only ones to benefit from Satellite CD Radio. Stations like ours will greatly suffer and perhaps will not be able to survive should Satellite CD Radio come to be a reality. Instead, please channel this new digital technology so it can benefit and enhance the local broadcasting radio station and thereby preserve localism. co: All Commissioners
