The Commission today released its further Public Notice establishing the filing dates and adopting the procedures for the upcoming auction of 119 New FM Radio channels, scheduled to start on March 27, 2012. The auction has been designated as FM Auction No. 93 and offers vacant FM allotments in various communities across the country. Although the Commission removed four allotments from the slate of available channels, the remaining 119 channels are up for grabs. A full list of the licenses available in the auction can be found here. Anyone potentially interested in bidding on these new FM stations should start doing their due diligence now (and see our earlier posting for tips about specific issues to consider).
