FCC EVALUATES 76 NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL FM APPLICATION GROUPS
[SOURCE: Federal Communications Commission]
The FCC adopted a Memorandum Opinion and Order that will bring new or improved noncommercial educational ("NCE") FM broadcast service to 76 communities, with millions of people expected to benefit from this decision. Because of the not-for-profit nature of NCE FM stations, such facilities are uniquely situated to provide a rich and varied blend of educational, cultural and informational programming specifically designed to serve the needs of their listeners. This action also represents a major step toward the opening of the first-ever filing window for new NCE FM station applications in fall 2007.
