Getting Started & How to Apply
Eligibility
Though we are still waiting to hear from the FCC, here are some of the likely requirements for being eligible to obtain a LPFM license.
Costs
One of the absolutely beautiful things about low power radio is how cheap it is. Many stations get on the air for under $10,000 and can stay on the air for less than $1,000 per month. The main start-up expenses for a radio station are engineering fees, studio equipment for producing radio shows, and transmitting equipment for sending your signals out to the world. The main recurring costs are rent, utilities, and personnel.

What is a Radio Frequency?
