During the recent filing window (Jan. 16 - 22, 2001), over
500 applications for LPFM stations filed with the Federal Communications Commission in Washington D.C. sent a message that the dream for LPFM is alive and well in communities throughout the nation.
This figure also demonstrates that community and civic organizations, churches, faith communities, government agencies, and academic institutions were not discouraged by the misinformation campaign led by the national corporate and public radio broadcasters, nor by the new technical requirements mandated by Congress to limit LPFM.
