Forgive me, for I must have missed some earlier story, but why does an online-only streaming music station need anything from the FCC? Technically, it's not radio, doesn't broadcast over the airwaves or occupy any spectrum. Isn't that what the FCC licenses? So, what gives?

Hey @2, HER applied (and just received) a license for a physical broadcast station! It's going to be a LPFM - The Stranger has written about it previously: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/low-p…

Brooklyn, exactly - they got FCC approval to broadcast under the new Low Power FM licenses.

@BrooklynReader I am a Hollow Earth Radio DJ and this means that instead of having to broadcast via the internet we can broadcast via FM radio waves so we will have more exposure.

why do people comment without reading the entire article?

@5 help me out here - how will a local FM broadcast give Hollow Earth Radio more exposure than the Internet? Who is the intended audience for the radio version that isn't already listening via the streaming version?

Me. Yay!

@9 While we stream to anyone (& have global listeners), our core constituency is Seattle's Central District, an economically stratified environ in which not everyone has technology capable of streaming (or understands how to use it).

Pretty much all ages and abilities know how to dial in a radio... except for the very young, but they seem to be born with smartphones these days, so...

Yes, we'd like people to be able to discover Hollow Earth by simply twiddling the dial or listen while driving through the neighborhood!

Please wait...
