{{Proceeding | The original LPFM ''Notice of Proposed Rulemaking'' (NPRM) was a product of the two ''Petitions for Rulemaking'' that became known as [[RM-9208, RM-9242 and RM-9246|RM-9208]] and [[RM-9208, RM-9242 and RM-9246|RM-9242]]. it was also the rest of a major grassroots campaign to raise the awareness of media consolidation and the lack of ability for the common citizen to access the airwaves.{{Proceeding | ||

LPFM | In the NPRM, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recognized that there was substantial interest in and public support for increased citizen's access to the airwaves and that LPFM stations would provide a low-cost means of serving urban communities and neighborhoods as well as populations living in smaller rural towns and communities. | ||
The FCC's goals in this proceeding were to address unmet needs for community-oriented radio broadcasting, foster opportunities for new radio broadcast ownership and promote additional diversity in radio voices and program services. | |||
Under the proposal, LPFM stations would not be subject to certain technical rules that apply to other classes of radio services. This includes [[third-adjacent channel]] protection requirements, and possibly even second-adjacent channel. In adopting any new rules and requirements, the FCC was wary of any provisions that could limit the development of what would eventually become known as [[HD Radio]]. | |||
