View source for LPFM Report and Order

This was the original ''Report and Order'' that created the LPFM service with two classes of service, LP-100 and [[LP-10]] to operate as a [[Noncommercial educational nature of broadcast stations|noncommercial educational]] (NCE) service by entities that do not have any attributable interests in any other broadcast stations and in a manner that protects the existing FM service.  Initially, only local applicants would be eligible to participate in the service and once the eligibility criteria is relaxed, local organizations will be given significant selection preference.  The LPFM service will provide new voices to be heard and fulfill the FCC's statutory obligation the authorize facilities in a manner that best serves the public interest.
