Background -- Community Radio
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) grants licenses to two types of radio stations: commercial and non-commercial. Commercial radio stations are licensed to a group of investors who make money on station profits. Non-commercial radio stations are licensed to a variety of non-profit entities ranging from state agencies to school boards, universities, and community groups. Historically, most non-commercial stations were owned, operated, and financed by educational institutions. But since 1949, when the first Pacifica station was founded, non-commercial licenses have been granted to non-profit corporations of community individuals. These are community radio stations. KCUW-LP is a non-commercial community station.
