Hi !

We're writing with some exciting news! The FCC is poised to accept applications for new Low Power FM radio stations and Prometheus is here to help. It's been a decade since the last opportunity to apply for an LPFM station and another application may not open again soon, if ever.

Read on for more about the new application window, our services, our Torchbearers Program, and our recent trip to Charleston, West Virginia for the Grassroots Radio Conference. 

Support our work to build participatory grassroots media and free the airwaves!

The FM dial has never been more crowded and that means most cities don't have available frequencies for new LPFM stations. Smaller towns and rural areas have the most available frequencies. You can check availability in your area by using our zip code tool.

The Torchbearers Program provides direct one-on-one support to groups applying for Low Power FM radio licenses in the upcoming window. Slots are limited but we are still accepting applications.

• A case manager and advocate to help you get the most out of Prometheus’ resources and support.
• Regular phone/video check-ins to make sure you have the information you need to submit a successful application and that you are on track to meet the filing deadline.
• A final application review of your application once it is complete to check for quality and accuracy.
• A strategy consultation on ways to maximize your chances of winning a license.
• Channel & site search, preparation of LPFM application engineering section, engineering advice and support.

Apply for the Torchbearer program here.
