Part 15 Radio Broadcasting
While many individuals, educational institutions and other groups and organizations would love to harness the power of radio broadcasting, full power licensed broadcast facilities can be an expensive venture. The costs involved with locating a suitable broadcast site, engineering studies and legal representation may leave a potential broadcaster with only an empty wallet to show for their efforts. However, there is an alternative that can get you on the radio.
Legal, license-free low power broadcasting under the Federal Communications Commission's Part 15 regulations can used for a variety of purposes such as:
- On-Campus Student Radio Station
- Real Estate Drive-by Advertising
- Campground Radio
- Resort and Tourist Attractions Information Radio
- Elder Community Radio
- Neighborhood Radio
- Church Ministry Outreach
- Indoor Lecture Hearing Assistance
- Health Club Entertainment Audio Systems
The rules regarding license-free Part 15 broadcasting do not restrict you from airing your own advertising or paid programming. This allows the operator potential and opportunity to earn revenue from their station.
