You have to keep two issues in mind. First you must choose the right location for your studio station.
Next step is to obtain a FM radio station license that will permit you to legally broadcast your signal.
There are three types of FM radio station license in United States:
- The low power FM (Local)
- The full power FM (Commercial)
- License for Internet radio (Streaming Media)
You can run your new radio station by getting at least one of the licenses mentioned. It is better for you to first apply for a low power FM license and then further move on to the full power license. You have also the option of setting up a radio station that streams sound on the internet. It is the easiest way to go with, if you do not have any experience in FM radio stations.
It is better for you to consider following issues after applying for the radio station license:
- How much money are you planning to spend for starting up and ongoing costs of your radio station?
- What kind of equipment will you require? Do you know how to select the best transmitter available in the market for your radio station?
- What type of process you require for getting in the air? Do you have the knowledge how to operate your equipment and go live?
- Do you know that how to deal with music licensing, royalties and copyright issues? How to pay for that too?
- How much information you have on the subject of frequencies? Acquiring a license is one thing and obtaining a frequency for your radio station is a different thing. Have you submitted an application to request a new frequency?
- Do you know what type of people you need? Do you have any idea to find the right people for the job?
Creative ideas will play a key role in the success of your radio station. The idea of on airing your messages to others through a radio station is getting more and more popularity. By charging a little amount of money you can broadcast people’s messages to the world.
