STARTING A FM RADIO STATION
If
you are looking forward to starting a FM radio station, it is important
to know what the regulations and requirements are at the outset. In many
parts of the world, regulations vary on what you can do. Some countries
allow for a low power FM service, while others don't. Sometimes this service
is licensed, sometimes it isn't. Other options include operating a full
power FM station. There are many ways that these can be set up, they could
for instance run on a commercial basis, non-commercially, or alternatively
on a educational broadcasting license. If you are looking towards starting
a FM radio station, one option is of course operating a radio station
that streams on the internet. This could be run as a standalone station,
or alternatively as a add-on to a station broadcasting on a low power
or full power FM basis.
Given the myriad of options available, it is essential that you get expert assistance to help inform you exactly of what your choices are, as well as how it is best for you to proceed. In most cases, you need to provide radio authorities in your country with detailed technical radio engineering reports when you apply for a certain frequency. The technical data required can be rather daunting, and again this is an opportunity to make use of an experienced radio tech who can guide you through the process in plain english language. Starting a FM radio station can be a complicated process, but with the right help, it can be substantially simplified for you.
When it comes to selecting your studio equipment again you are presented with a huge number of possibilities. What is the on air difference between a $200 CD player or one that costs $2000? How many channels do you need for your mixing desk? What type of compression equipment do you need? How do you ensure your station is compliant with broadcast regulations, and indeed, just what are the regulations?
These are just some of the questions you will likely come across, and it is critical that you have good information available to be able to make an informed decision.
