LPFM Window Draws More Than 1,300 Applications

The FCC received 1,336 applications for new low-power FM station construction permits during the recent filing window, an FCC spokesperson said Monday. The window opened Dec. 6 and closed Friday. The last LPFM filing window, in 2013, drew 2,819 applications (see 1311250032). Interest in the LPFM window indicates there still is robust interest in radio, the FCC spokesperson said.
