Abstract:
They are called LPFM, or Low Power FM stations, and they are relatively rare. Only two exist in the Raleigh area--WCOM, 103.5 in Carrboro, and WRLY, 93.5, which covers a small section of northeastern Raleigh. These stations are small and can broadcast no further than 3.5 miles on 100 watts. Yet, these small frequencies on the FM dial are highly coveted. Kelly Reid and Jacob Downey have a station, Little Raleigh Radio (LRR), and they have requested the 105.6 position. However, they have competition from four religious groups, one as far away as Texas. Porter explains what the process involves.

Abstract:
They are called LPFM, or Low Power FM stations, and they are relatively rare. They are small and can broadcast no further than 3.5 miles on 100 watts. Yet, these small frequencies on the FM dial are highly coveted. After five years of dreaming and planning, at 4 pm on Monday, February 17, 2014, Kelly Reid and Jacob Downey achieved their dream when Little Raleigh Radio (LRR) went on the air for the first time. At the moment the broadcast is online, but the ultimate aim is to have an LPFM signal. The station broadcasts local news, music and things of interest to the Raleigh community.

His is a measured and soothing voice among a host of vitriolic broadcasters. He has a loyal audience, and his shows cover a range of topics like drive-in-restaurants and old movies, as well as guests including a pharmacist, economist, stamp-and-coin expert, and state government officials.

Abstract:
Radio station WRDU is the Triangle’s most popular station thanks to shock-jocks Steve Reynolds and Kevin Silva. Reynolds and Silva have 169, 000 listeners per week who tune in to their raunchy and controversial show that airs between WRDU’s rock music. Some area residents are offended at their brand of comedy often aimed at women, blacks, ethnic groups, and Southerners. Questions also arise about how long WRDU and the show will stay popular as musical tastes change.

Abstract:
Located in Raleigh, WCPE-FM is North Carolina's only 24-hour classical music public radio station. In 1973, five college students, seeing a need for this type of programming, began the work necessary to bring the station into being. Five years later, on July 18, 1978, WCPE-FM broadcast its first program. Donations from its listeners support the station.
