Have you ever been listening to the radio and thought, "I could do better than this!"?

Well, this may be your chance.

The FCC is opening up a rare opportunity where they will be giving away free radio licenses to non-profit organizations. Usually commercial stations like this sell for millions of dollars, but since these are non-commercial channels they are given out for free. If your group meets the qualifications, and a frequency is available, you can start a radio station.

Our friends at the Prometheus Radio Project have helped to build radio stations for civil rights groups, unions, environmentalists, schools, tribes, and neighborhood organizations of all sorts. Any frequencies worth having will be given away this October, so if you want a radio station, this is your big chance!

If you want to know more, check out GetRadio.org. Linked from that page is a tool that can tell whether there are any frequencies available near your zip code. If you want to know more, contact the nice people at Prometheus and they will be happy to help you claim your community's slice of the FM dial! 215-727-9620 or info@prometheusradio.org.
