The First Steps towards Starting a Community Radio Station Compiled by the Staff of NFCB and The Center for Native American Public Radio
1. Conduct a frequency search. You must find out if there are any frequencies available. The quick and dirty way is to run through the dial on your radio and see if there is space. Ultimately you will have to hire an engineer. NFCB can suggest several engineers to help. Approximate cost: $500.00. 2. Form a Board of Directors and incorporate as a non-profit organization, or find a nonprofit organization which is willing to sponsor/house you. 3. With the Board, determine the need(s) for a radio station in your community and the mission of the station. 4. Find a tower or another place to put your antenna. 5. Start raising money. 6. Apply for a license from the FCC. We recommend that you use a communications attorney for this process. We can supply names. 7. Become a member of NFCB and start receiving benefits. 8. Find studio space. 9. Keep raising money. 10. With your Board, begin to outline as many policies as you can. Think about: Volunteer management; underwriting policies; employment policies. Think about Programming and programming policies. What kinds of programs do you want? Who will do them? How will you find them? Do you need to train them? How will you change programming? How will new programs get on the air? Who will do program evaluations? Think about bringing someone from NFCB to conduct planning session with your Board. 11. Raise more money. We estimate that it will cost $200,000 just to get the station on the air, and a minimum of $100,000 per year to operate the station.

Low Power vs. Full-Power FM Fact Sheet
Prepared by Michael D. Brown Brown Broadcast Services February 19, 2007

Low Power FM (LPFM)

-limited to 100w @30m HAAT1

Full-Power FM (FPFM)

-minimum 100w @30m HAAT maximum 100kw @600m HAAT a minimum FPFM is equal to a maximum LPFM -protected from interference received
-not protected from interference received -many LPFMs experience severe interference, greatly limiting their coverage areas -is a quasi-secondary service can get bumped at any time by a full-power station. however if the FPFM situation is a move-in after the LPFM is on the air, the LPFM has a limited right to continue broadcasting as long as it does not cause interference inside the FPFM 70dbu contour2 (but in these cases the LPFM will often receive severe interference and be severely compromised) -co-equal with translators in most regards -cannot be sold FCC Rules prohibit transfers, however some transfers have been approved by a waiver, on a case-by-case basis no money can be paid or received for transferring the license

-is a primary service can bump most LPFM stations that are in the way, as defined by 73.809.
-can bump translators that are in the way -transferrable and sellable in most cases, for any price NCE FPFM stations in major markets can be worth millions of $$
