Could this happen? Or has it been tried already?

Could Centro Cristiano buy KMAZ-LP?? Or have they already reached them with an offer? Anyone know? I’m just Curious about it

Since Centro has full power stations it would be illegal for them to own a Low Power FM like KMAZ. With that said, they could establish a different non-profit than the full power stations that could operate a LPFM. The FCC technically does not allow LPFMs to be bought and sold except for a realistic appraised value of existing equipment. So, if their assets are truly appraised at $10,000 then they can ask for up to $10,000. Most LPFMs are donated for no consideration.

No, you can only own one LPFM, unless youre a native tribal organization

I think city governments can own two if they cover different geographic areas. North of Houston, the City of Conroe has LPFMs KZCW 104.5 and KZCC 106.1.

There are other shady organizations that have done things that were illegal with respect to broadcast licenses before. They lost their licenses at some point.
