The specific requirement for the distance between your board members and headquarters in relation to the transmitter location can vary depending on the type of station you are operating. For LPFM (Low-Power FM) stations, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) typically requires that at least 75% of your board members reside within 10 miles of the transmitter site.

Is there a specific minimum requirement for the number of board members or directors on the licensee’s nonprofit corporation board?
For most states, nonprofit corporations are mandated to maintain a minimum of three directors, although New Hampshire imposes a slightly higher requirement of five directors. It’s worth noting that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently started rejecting certain applications, such as those for the transfer of control if the board falls short of the state’s minimum director requirement.
