Support For You
We offer opportunities for applicants and fellow-travelers to meet and plan. We provide information and technical support, hooking folks up with the experts in this process. We are identifying in-kind and financial support, talking with radio stations and other groups who may have broadcast equipment and other supplies to donate as well as foundations and other philanthropic groups. We'll give you as much moral support as you need!

Background
After years of anticipation, The FCC lifted a freeze on applications for full-powered, noncommercial (NCE) radio licenses between October 12 and October 22, 2007. During those ten days, more than 350 local community groups across the country applied for frequencies on behalf of community radio. NCE frequencies, which reside on the FM dial between 88.1 MHz and 91.9 MHz, are granted to American citizens by the federal government as a public trust at no cost.
