Congress authorized the FCC about 15 Years ago to hand out Low Power FM non-commercial licenses with a maximum power of 100 watts. The FCC dragged their tail, stalling for 10 years to give others a chance to jump in line for available FM frequencies. Because 100 watts goes no further than 5 miles, these require very little oversight and squeeze in between existing station.<\/p>\n
There is a huge backlog now of these to research. Often, there is very little information to track down, and I can’t waste an hour on each one. But this one you might find interesting.<\/p>\n
Cheryl Rilea was listed on the application of WCKP-LPFM in Ocala Florida, which is technically licensed to the “AGAPE WORLD CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES AND TRAINING CENTER, INC”<\/p>\n
The organization and call sign was a dead end, but the phone number and address matches up with Ms Riley’s business as a nutrionist, dietician, massage therapist and colon cleaner. Poking around a bit more, I find a Seventh Day Adventist connection. There is some disagreement within SDA whether they are required to be vegetarians.<\/p>\n
