Operate an LPFM station?

Nexus Broadcast takes care of LPFM engineering and FCC filings, from new stations, moves, translators and renewals to the paperwork that comes up in between.

How this directory works

  • Included: each LPFM the FCC lists as licensed (whether on the air, silent or running reduced power) plus every construction permit not yet built. Cancelled or deleted stations are left out.
  • Power is the station's height above average terrain and effective radiated power, taken from its current license, or from its permit if it is not licensed yet.
  • The licensee shown is the applicant named on the station's latest FCC application.

Data from the FCC's LMS, refreshed each morning. This is not an FCC product.
