FCC clears way for hundreds of new community radio stations
By Stephen C. Webster | The Raw Story

"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision issued clears the runway for hundreds of new community radio stations that broadcast on low-power FM signals, bringing progressive, community voices to urban areas that have for decades only known what’s being broadcast by major corporations and America’s political right...

These [new, low power] stations can only be licensed to non-profit organizations, and you can only have one per customer...

Instead of slowly grinding down thousands of repeater station applications that leave no room for community radio, the FCC essentially threw most of those applications away by limiting who can apply."
