The station's reach was most heavily impacted by a massive infusion of cash and facility upgrades from Paul Allen, coupled with an aggressively expansionist management team; the music itself was not nearly as large a contributing factor.

The point is not to bash KEXP (or Ms. Roach), but to suggest that the real opportunity with these LPFM licenses lies not in making "eight little KEXP's" (author Anna Minard's words), but rather, to create broadcasting entities that are first and foremost concerned with best serving their own immediate community, while developing a local, audience-driven funding base.

I think this is from 2007, so the rates are definitely higher, but you're overall looking at 4-digits, total, which is definitely doable for any organization that's serious about this.

Posted by kaz]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:28:52 -0800 The Stranger FM radio reception in the Puget Sound region has always been spotty, even with high power signals. Will anyone more than 1 mile away from these new stations be able to get a strong enough signal to keep them tuned in?
Relay stations are nice, but if they are also low power, how effective will they be?

The low start-up costs might be insignificant, depending on those licensing fees.
