FCC Will Open a New Window for LPFMs?

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

That rocks! I thought they'd never open up for applications again. When I heard about this in the `00s, I looked into it, but it's not really for individuals, it's for community radio, with a bigger staff and non profit sponsorship of the station. It might work if you had a group of friends on your side.

I'd want to open a LPFM in a storefront and people could hang out and chill to the tunes.
