The FCC has announced an upcoming NEW NCE FM filing window: The filing window will open at 12:01 am EDT on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, and close at 6:00 pm EST on November 9, 2021. The window is available for FM reserved band (channels 201 – 220) proposals only.
If you're already qualified as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with an educational purpose - you might consider filing for a new FM station to serve your community.
Our firm may be able to help. The first step is to determine if a frequency/channel is available in your area for use. Channels are limited (20 in total) and extend from channel 201 (88.1 MHz) to Channel 220 (91.9 MHz.). Minimum facilities are 100 watts at any height. Maximum facilities can be as much as 100 kilowatts (doubtful) depending on location. The FM NCE (reserved band) is very crowded, so limited facilities (if any) are available in developed urban areas.
But you never know until you look (FM Channel Allocation-Spectrum Study).
