The only potential negative impacts that we would see to LPFM stations from new FM translators in this filing window would be for LPFM stations operating on 88.1 through 92.3. LPFM stations operating on 92.5~107.9 would experience no impacts. There are very few LPFM stations operating in the 88.1~91.9 reserved band.

This will depend on the type of licensee you are:
