SMOC -- The Small Market Operators Caucus
About SMOC	English (USA)
This is the email list for the Small Market Operators Caucus (the SMOC), an ad hoc group of small market radio station owners and managers. To subscribe, scroll down this page to "Subscribing to SMOC". The SMOC's objectives are: to establish a forum to discuss and define regulatory and legislative positions that are in the best interests of radio broadcasting as a whole, and specifically, those stations in rated markets over 150 and un-rated markets; to provide an established network of relationships that can be quickly activated to provide feedback to the NAB's government relations department and to provide grassroots lobbying support to their lobbying efforts; and to provide an active and organized grass roots organization with strong ties to the Members of Congress representing small market broadcasters. Ron Davis of KBOW/KOPR, Butte, Montana, is the Chair of SMOC and may be reached at (406) 494-7777 or rondavis17@hotmail.com. Julie Koehn of WLEN, Adrian, Michigan is the Scribe of SMOC and may be reached at (517) 263-1039 or wlenradio@dmci.net. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the SMOC Archives.
