Christian Community Broadcasters Application and Filing Services
All non-profit organizations desiring to apply for an
full-power FM Non-Commercial Educational (NCE) station
in one of the 66 towns list below must complete an FCC Form
340. This 11-page form must be filed electronically based on
seven worksheets and 16 pages of instructions. CCB will
utilized its ten years experience filling FCC applications and
related FM radio forms, including both administrative (legal) and
engineering sections.
CCB's fees for its preparation services, requiring
hours of gathering data, interpreting FCC instructions, includes
complex engineering studies and exhibits using expensive RadioSoft
software, and filing application in a timely and professional
matter. CCB will accept only one client per allocation to
avoid a conflict of interest.
Filing for a broadcast license is a fiercely
competitive process. CCB's has an excellent record of helping
its clients win for ten years. Unfortunately, no consultant,
including CCB, can guarantee that an application will result in a
license. The risk is small in comparison with the six or seven
figure value of licensed full-power broadcast station.
The only additional expense related to filing an
application is a small legal notice which must be placed in a local
newspaper. There are no FCC fees for non-commercial
broadcasters.
Payment to CCB may be by check (to address below), Electronic Funds
Transfer, or credit card.
