The FCC adopted a Second Order on Reconsideration and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that modifies the rules governing low power FM (LPFM) service, seeks comment on a number of ownership and technical issues for this service and imposes an immediate six-month freeze on application grants of FM translator new station construction permits. The FCC created LPFM service in January 2000.
The FCC reports that there are about 590 stations on the air serving mostly mid-sized and smaller markets. In February, the Commission held a forum to explore how LPFM stations are meeting the needs of their communities and to identify issues affecting the future of the LPFM service. "
