I've been following the notices of applications for new LPFM stations that have started to trickle out from the filing window last month. The only one that's really caught my attention so far is from Weber State, specifically credited to "KWCR, student radio organization." The application is for 100 watts at 93.7 with an antenna at about 44th St and Washington Blvd in South Ogden.
I'm really surprised by this. It seemed like they had a huge headache on their hands with fines, challenges to the license, the inability to find a new transmitter location, etc. I thought when they threw in the towel and sold 88.1 to EMF that it would be the end of them broadcasting and they would have the relative ease of being an online service only, not subject to FCC regulations. Maybe the students actually want to be on the air.
