Acting President and CEO of NPR Paul Haaga and American Public Media Group CEO Jon McTaggert have written a letter in support of FM Chips in Cell Phones. Emmis CEO Jeff Smulyan has been working on the FM Cell Phone chip project for many years now, most recently succeeding at getting the chips in Sprit phones. Haaga and McTaggert write in Current.org that "Because of public radio?s role as a trusted media and information resource and an essential public-safety asset, we hope all stations will join us in calling upon the mobile phone industry to install and activate FM chips in all cellphones and smartphones."
