How Would You Start a Radio Station?

MurderINC asks: "For the past few months, I have been looking into starting up a radio station here. I am a student in a college town. The university here has around 10,000 students, but in my opinion, not a single decent radio station. There are a couple of country stations, a couple of 'today's hit music' stations geared towards the junior high audience and a few talk stations, but that's about it. I would LOVE to start a classic rock / alternative / hard rock station. I'm thinking this could probably be run right off of my Mandrake box (just load up a playlist and go with it). The problem consists of: I know very little about the FCC's regulations, the costs of the equipment, and what equipment I would need, and was hoping someone out there knew a lil' somethin somethin, or has done the same thing."

Let Clear Channel do it for you

You'll need to get the process started, of course. File whatever applications you need to file, and get the concept in place for your station. Then, when Clear Channel sees that another radio station is popping up that they don't already own, they'll buy you out. They'll handle the rest.
