Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 12, 2013 Brown Paper Tickets,
the Not-Just-For-Profit event registration and ticketing company, is
launching a National Make Radio Challenge during South-by-Southwest
(SXSW) to bring awareness and guidance to nonprofits eligible to apply
for a low-power FM (LPFM) radio license, in preparation for a once-in-a-lifetime application window being offered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this fall.
“Now is the time for nonprofits to prepare their application to own a part of the public airwaves,” said Sabrina Roach, a Doer
specializing in public interest media for Brown Paper Tickets. “Most
traditional media have not included the LPFM application window in news
coverage, and the majority of groups eligible to apply are not aware
that this opportunity exists. This is a problem, because the application
will take about three months to complete.
“The National Make Radio
Challenge is needed to make groups aware of the opportunity, to inspire
them to think about how they could use the power of radio to serve their
communities, to guide them to resources that make building and
operating a radio station realistic, and to help them to organize and
successfully complete the application in time,” Roach said.
