The best FM frequency for your future radio station.
Assembling the pieces.
Finding an FM channel.
Our proprietary software searches a radius around your target radio coverage location displaying all locations where a new signal could originate on frequencies 88.1 to 107.9 FM. Our software maps all possible coverages, determines population, required antenna type, along with a list of potential tower sites with owner contact information. Cost: $350.
Planning.
Once a potential channel is determined, we will map the maximum coverage possible from a selected site and calculate the population coverage. We will assist in obtaining the required “site assurance” from the tower owner. If the antenna will go at a site without an existing tower, we will assist in planning a new tower or rooftop antenna location.
Application preparation.
We will produce all required technical exhibits including coverage contour maps and exhibits demonstrating compliance with FCC LPFM rules 73.807 along with detailed second and third adjacent channel waiver showings (if necessary), compliant spacing with respect to Canadian and Mexican stations, protection to any affected TV-6 stations (if necessary), and required RF environmental exhibit. Cost: $1,850.
File with the FCC by November 8, 2023 deadline.
We will prepare all of the technical portion of the application for and file the application through the FCC LMS system during the November filing window. If you use the the services of an attorney, we provide the necessary technical exhibits and data.
Follow-up.
After the close of the filing window, we will assist in checking the status of the application and determining if there are any conflicts with competing applications filed by other parties. If necessary will will provide options to resolve conflicts to best meet your goals.
Construction.
If your application for a new station is selected by the FCC and granted a construction permit, we will provide options for construction and referrals and serve as a liaison with equipment vendors, tower owners, and contractors to assist in the expeditious construction of the new radio station.
