First off, be sure to read contributor Gavin Dahl’s awesome article on budgeting for new LPFM stations. Advice comes from some great people at KDRT-LP, KIDE-FM, WRIR-LP and KYRS-FM.

We’re glad to add nine more low-power FM construction permits to the tally since last week’s report.

Things certainly slow down in the middle of August, and that holds just as true for low-power FM. Just one construction permit was granted in the last week, to the St. Mark Radio Association in Wilmington, NC. Also in the past week the deadline to file petitions to deny (PTDs) against applicants competing for frequencies […]
Two new low-power FM construction permits were issued by the FCC this week, to stations in Santa Ana, CA and Ferndale, MI.
