FCC Decision [Received!]
The FCC has granted us a license to operate on 100.7 FM in the Ferndale area! We were the only non-profit that was able to secure such a license in the Detroit Metro Area. Once we have secured an agreement for sharing a station space, we can begin broadcasting community radio!

FCC Application [Done]
An application for a construction permit was filed by Underwood V for a new low-powered FM station in November. This is essentially the license that we need to operate a FM radio station legally. No other organization in the area submitted an application during the filing window, so our only competition is existing stations.

Antenna Mast [Pending]
Space on an existing antenna mast has been offered by an enthusiastic community in the area. We are still yet to finalize all of the details, but we look forward to a productive relationship that brings numerous civic benefits.

Studio Location [Pending]
Studio space is in negotiation with community groups, which will bring a physical presence to the community. Office hours are mandated by the low-power FM agreement, which we intend to fulfill.
