Yes, it is possible for two LPFM stations to simulcast programming, but there are certain restrictions to consider. The two LPFM stations cannot be engaged in a time brokerage agreement or a management agreement. This means that they can share and broadcast the same programs simultaneously, but one station cannot provide compensation (cash or other considerations) to the other station, as that would constitute a time brokerage agreement. Additionally, both stations must maintain separate and independent management teams; one station cannot manage the operations of the other.
