Category: LPFM Eligibility/Ownership

Yes, LPFM (Low-Power FM) stations are generally required to provide public notice when filing applications with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Public notice is an essential part of the FCC’s regulatory process and is designed to inform the local community about proposed changes to LPFM stations. The specific types of applications that typically require public notice include:

  1. New LPFM Station Applications: When an organization applies for a new LPFM station construction permit, they are required to provide public notice to inform the local community about their intent to establish a new station. This allows for public input and potential objections.
  2. Major Change Applications: LPFM stations seeking significant changes to their facilities, such as changes in frequency, location, or transmitter power, often require public notice. This ensures that the community is aware of and can provide feedback on the proposed changes.
  3. Transfer of Control or Assignment Applications: When there is a change in the ownership or control of an LPFM station, the FCC typically requires public notice. This ensures transparency and allows for public comment on the transfer.
  4. Renewal Applications: LPFM stations must also provide public notice when applying for license renewal. This allows the local community to comment on the station’s performance and compliance with FCC regulations.

The specific requirements for public notice may vary based on the type of application and local FCC rules. Generally, public notice involves announcements in local newspapers, on-air announcements, and postings on the station’s website or in other prominent locations. The FCC sets guidelines for the content and duration of public notice periods, and stations must comply with these regulations to ensure transparency and community involvement in the FCC’s decision-making process.
