Start a Radio Station

The Future of Music Coalition is encouraging nonprofits to start a radio station, “Full Power FM Radio License Fact Sheet:”

This fall, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will give away hundreds of full power non-commercial educational (NCE) licenses for any qualified nonprofits. The FCC has just announced that applications will be accepted for these valuable licenses by the FCC between October 12 and October 19, 2007. For ten years, no new licenses have been given out. If you have ever dreamed of starting your own radio station, this is likely to be your last chance before all remaining FM spectrum is given away.
