To start your own radio station, you need equipment, a facility, engineering know-how, an FCC license, a lawyer and much more. Not to mention the cost of a blanket license from BMI and ASCAP.
It's expensive!
There's a better way. Let someone else handle it! There are stations that rent out their airtime in blocks. They handle FCC regs, ASCAP and BMI licensing, etc. All you have to do is sound good.
If your topic is interesting enough, you might even make a profit by selling your own advertisements. Look into it.

Actually Wawa is a regional chain - they have stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and a few in Virginia.
Actually, New Jersey has one of the largest water reserves in the world. Under the Pine Lands of South Jersey sits the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer. It's capacity is roughly 17 trillion gallons, but due to overuse some of the higher levels of the aquifer are suffering from salt water intrusion, especially in Cape May (That pointy part on the bottom of NJ). Even with this problem, the aquifer is still a viable resource for Southern New Jersey's drinking water - and it isn't terribly affected by droughts. A semi-government run organization called the Pinelands Commission oversees development in the 1.1 million acre area. Although this organization has taken some flack lately, it has been successful overall in limiting development in the most ecologically sensitve areas of the Pine Lands. While protecting wetlands gives little tadpoles a home, it also protects valuable spots for the water to be absorbed into the aquifer.
How is this valuable for New York?
It isn't! Because of its location, it isn't even valuable for North Jersey. New Jersey doesn't allow the export of its water to other states - but - the Army Core of Engineers is rumored to have a right of way from New York City 90 miles south to the Pine Lands. Is it true?
