	Free Press : Comment on an FCC Proceeding
		The FCC established LPFM to "create opportunities for new voices on the airwaves" and to support programming "responsive to local community needs and interests." LPFM refers to 10 to 100 watt, nonprofit radio stations with a reach of only a few miles.
		Because LPFM stations are noncommercial and reach a small broadcast area, they hold great promise to offer truly community-driven and locally oriented programming.
		For LPFM service to be more accessible to community groups, the FCC should modify its rules so that typical changes on a non-profit board would be permissible under FCC rules.

	DIYmedia.net - History of LPFM Part 1
		LPFM is the common term used to define an FM broadcast station that originates its own programming but has the power of a translator or booster.
		While the FCC recently (in 2000) began issuing licenses for LPFM stations, the idea is not exactly new.
		LPFM had existed for more than three decades in the United States, in the form of a "Class D" station license, first given out by the FCC in 1948.

	LPFM Comments
		Should LPFM be adopted, it should be restricted to class D NCE with all stations not licensed to governments or accredited educational institutions be licensed to local "boards".
		LPFM service would result in unacceptable crowding in an already concentrated FM band, would result in substantial interference to existing full power FM facilities and air navigation signals, and in some cases would preclude the authorization of new full power FM services.
		LPFM stations would be of benefit to small communities that have been ignored by larger stations.

	Low-power broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LPFM, LPAM, and LPTV are in various levels of use across the world, varying widely based on the laws and their enforcement.
		The new LPFM licenses in the United States may only be issued to nonprofit educational organizations and state and local governments.
		Due to legal requirements (the controversial Radio Broadcasting Preservation Act of 2000) that LPFM stations be separated by at least 0.6 MHz from all other stations (even though most experts claim 0.4 MHz would be sufficient), in most large metropolitan areas there are no available frequencies for LPFM stations at all.

	IBA LPFM UPDATE
		Senator Rod Grams (R-MN) has recently introduced S. 3020, which is identical to the LPFM legislation passed overwhelmingly earlier this year by the House.
		It requires the FCC to conduct an economic impact study of LPFM on "incumbent FM broadcasters in general, and minority and small-market broadcasters in particular." Second, it requires an FCC study of the impact on the transition to digital in-band, on-channel radio.
		In a further expression of concern for small markets, the legislation establishes by law that all LPFM licenses will be non-commercial and will remain non-commercial.
