Low Power FM stations are popping up all over the country. Here are just a few examples of great local LPFM stations.

WCTI-LP -- The rural farmworkers of Southwest Florida depend on a unique community radio station for a broad range of news and views. With programming that includes local women's rights shows and music and information from across the region and around the world, WCTI broadcasts in Spanish, as well as in indigenous Mexican and Guatemalan languages, like M'am, Q'anjob'al, and Haitian Creole. Hundreds of farmworkers working in the fields listened to WCTI's Radio Consciencia as Hurricane Wilma approached in 2005. The station was able to help more than 350 workers to find shelter from the storm.

WBFC-LP -- Boynton Low Power Broadcasting plays Southern Gospel music and Christian talk in a North Georgia community grateful for its local service. When the station first went on the air, it received dozens of calls from listeners overjoyed to find Southern Gospel on their local airwaves. The station broadcasts three hours a day of Christian-oriented youth programming, as well as Christian music provided by local churchgoers.

WSCA-LP -- This station is an essential part of New England's burgeoning arts and music scene. With more than 25 hours a week of locally produced arts, public affairs and music programming, the station is the place to go for amateur musicians and established regional acts that can't get access to the commercial dial. These musicians get invaluable airplay and exposure.
