FCC Extends Deadline for Low-Power FM Radio License Applications

HeadlineOct 24, 2013

The Federal Communications Commission has extended the application deadline for thousands of new noncommercial, low-power FM radio licenses. The FCC opened up the LPFM spectrum earlier this year in response to a lengthy public campaign, giving nonprofits, labor unions and community groups a one-time-only chance to own a bit of the broadcast airwaves. Because of the government shutdown, the FCC has moved the deadline from October 29 to November 14.
