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.

Boosting this. I don't have the time or skills but if someone in a community out there does, then they should know of this opportunity.

I'd love it if my community had a locally run radio station.
