Neighborhood radio license price?

What is the total price for license to broadcast 24 hour commercial
radio station in a 'neighborhood' in New York City? (What is the total
price of running such a radio station year round and start up?).

Thanks.

I suggest looking at the following info on the Web site of the US
Federal Communications Commission (FCC):

Low Power Broadcast Radio Stations

The LPFM licensing was killed by NAB, et al. I do know how you can get
on the air for about 400 bucks, 1 mile radius. The secret is to not
ever, EVER, create cause for a complaint.

I know a little about electronics in general and followed with
interest the LPFM = lowpower FM radio broadcasting. I think the one
mile is optimistic unless the customer has a high gain antenna pointed
at your transmitter tower, and there are no blocking objects and the
customer does not mind considerable hiss. What are you planning to
broadcast that would attract listeners? That will have a considerable
effect on the first years cost. Are you planning to broadcast 24/7?
 There is some chance of complaits no matter what you brodcast. My
guess is Cris ment the FCC assumes you are gilty unless you can prove
your innocence and the FCC does not want to bother listening to your
side of the complaint.
 I suppose someone makes a mini brodcast station for about $400 into
which you you can plug hundreds of dollars worth of other equipment,
most of which you may already have. Unless you have an electronics
friend, you may spend $50  per hour getting your station operating
propery. A tower can easily cost another $400 and it is unlikely that
getting the FCC licience is free. I suppose the NAB is National
association of Broadcasters who don't want you attracting listeners
from their dues paying members.  Neil
