The FCC has released a list of 255 applicants who are eligible to receive lpfm licenses. This number was greatly reduced given the constraints of the anti-lpfm rider passed by congress last Friday. Broadcasters or other interested parties have 30 days to file "petitions to deny" these licenses, and we assume there will be a coordinated effort by broadcasters to hassle these organizations into giving up. But, in a perfect world, these organizations will be granted construction permits by the end of January.
