| Now Is The Best Time For Community TV
You now have the first opportunity in decades to apply for a NEW Low Power TV station in your community —
and it could be decades before this opportunity comes around again.
Low Power TV is very similar to a full-power television station, except instead of
covering a 60-mile radius, it typically covers about 20 miles. In communities without a full-power
station licensed to the same county, you may also qualify to request must-carry status on the local cable system.
One station can carry anywhere from 1 to 15 program streams, including High Definition,
Standard Definition, or a combination of both. You can sell local advertising, provide community programming,
or even operate as a donation-supported service.
With today’s social media and digital content environment, there is no shortage of programming
opportunities. You can also partner with a local radio station or newspaper to create a 24/7 local news and
information channel for your community. Or lease channels to other programmers in your community for a profit
The first step is obtaining your license. To help promote growth in our industry, we are currently
offering a discounted application preparation fee of $1,095 when paid with the order.
Email me at rickg@rlmediasystems.com or call at (615) 403-0169, and let’s see if a channel is
available in your community.
