The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.

This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.

The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.

Please boost and share.

@drwho I have no idea! I'm still looking for details and trying to dig up my old notes from when we were trying to do this in 2013.

I need to refamiliarize myself with the process, legal requirements, restrictions, etc.
