On a recent episode of NAB’s Airtime podcast, Johnson (R-LA) said, “It is an important thing for the community. Speaker Johnson, who had been on the air in Shreveport, added, “So many benefits that come from it. And so we advocate for local broadcasting and AM radio strongly in Congress, and we’ve got to keep that going. The House has already broken for its traditional August recess, and won’t return to Washington until a four-day session beginning August 31. This just underscores how important local radio is to communities.”
