The FCC has allowed private local ownership of Low Power Radio Station frequencies through a public filing process. Initially, licenses were granted for a limited broadcasting area and a period of a year, although it is now possible to get one that is annual renewing. The spirit of the plan was to give a voice to the community through local non profit entities in the community who were concerned enough about local issues to start up a grass-roots method of radio coverage.

Media consolidation has created a corporate or national control of what is covered on stations and who is available in a given market. In the LPFM environment, decisions are made by the local people involved in the station’s operation, which would be mostly voluntary involvement. This creates a platform to explore all ideas and report all news available.
