I have recently become interestied in starting a radio station but i wish to know a good age to start and some good places,also i wish to know how to become an offical radio station and get the items needed to start one.
You need an FCC license first. Current penalties for operating a radio station without a license are anywhere from 1.80 per day to 10,000 dollars per day.
You need a radio tower too. That will cost you quite a bit. Im not sure how much, but i know just the warning signs you have to put on it cost about 400 dollars for all of them. The tower Im guessing will cost about 200,000 dollars (and im getting this because this is what i heard it cost to build a tower in the domincan republic. Actually now that i think about it, it will probably cost more than 200k since labor is cheaper there. If you decide to run off the AM stations, im sure its considerably cheaper and less expensive.
