Schedule
When (and why) we are on air
We broadcast at 92.9 FM Mondays midnight - Wednesdays noon. So many Low Power FM (LPFM) applicants applied for licensing in the 2013 application window that few to no groups applying in major urban areas ended up with a 24/7 license. There were 8 groups in Philadelphia who applied for this channel; 4 ended up with nothing at all and we are happy to have worked with our timeshare partners in the Germantown section of the city to get any time at all. We were South Philly's only applicant.
