After years of filings, counterfilings, and differences as intractable as the Hatfields and the McCoys, Prometheus and large translator network Educational Media Foundation (EMF) have come to an understanding about the future status of translators and low power FM (LPFM) stations. Translators are the mini-stations that repeat the signals of other stations, often in chains over long distances. EMF is the third largest applicant for non-commercial FCC translator licenses, with over 800 applications in the 2003 filing window.
Congratulations to Radio Comunitaria Vieques FM (RCV-FM) in Puerto Rico, a project of the Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques (CRDV), who received their FCC construction permit and are working hard to get on the air. RCV-FM is a regional project that includes the two island municipalities of Puerto Rico – Culebra and Vieques – and the towns of Ceiba and Naguabo on the main island.
Internet streaming radio may not broadcast radio waves, but it is still a great way to reach listeners. If you're already on the air as an FM or AM radio station, you can use internet streaming to reach listeners outside of your normal coverage area or to provide additional content that won't fit into your on-air schedule.
It's been nearly a month since Prometheus concluded our 5-week long Making Waves: Transmitting Popular Power outreach tour.

The Idaho Community Action Network (ICAN) applied for a full power non-commercial FM license back in 2007, and in March 2010 ICAN received their construction permit and can start building their new radio station!
