NCE Stations in Non-Reserved Band

[SomeRadioGuy]

Is that Alaska or anywhere?

I know that at above 92, EMF has at least two full-power North Carolina stations and Augusta Bible Fellowship has one. Bible Broadcasting Network has at least four.

Anywhere...

WYAJ Sudbury, MA outside boston is on 97.7

WERB Berlin, CT is on 94.5

However, new class D licenses arent granted anymore at all in the lower 48. But in alaska, not only can they still be granted, they can be filed for at any time year round, without waiting for a filing window

Their salaries are based on the grant money they bring in from corporations. Call it a commission. It doesn't come from donations. This is common in all non-profits including the Red Cross and the American Cancer Society. The stations have boards of trustees who oversee how the money is spent. If they get federal money, that's also overseen in how it's spent. In Sacramento, there was a crooked GM who used station money to pay for his house. The station sued him and the federal agency sued the station. If you work for a non-profit, everybody is looking at your books.

That's not always true. Anyone can set up any type of non-profit and there must be a BOD. There are NP'S which depend upon public donations, especially in the religious area. The owners of some of those NP stations which claim they are "Serving the Lord" are raking in huge, obscene salaries and all this is fully visible by going on line and reading their IRS 990 forms which is public information. What is particularly putrid about that is their regular fund raising where duped people serve as volunteers to rake in their salaries

History is rife with non profits that have been caught swindling donors, including those "Serving the Lord." Who could forget that televangelist Jim Bakker, for one, was sentenced to prison in 1989 on 24 counts of fraud and conspiracy after misappropriating funds from followers for his own use? That sort of thing is not fully visible by going on line and reading the IRS 990 forms. You have to wonder how many others are out there who have never been caught.
