http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/howtoapply.html That's the FCC part of it. Good luck because the conglomerates who own all the stations in your area will try very hard to block you.
Then there's the real estate, tower, and equipment. Equipment includes production, broadcast and computers for traffic. (Traffic is the scheduling of commercials and programming)
Nowadays most of your staff can be independent contractors. My boss has one full time secretary, a full time news guy, a full time morning jock, and a full time program director, for 3 stations in 2 locations 40 miles apart. Then he has a freelance engineer, a part time salesperson, a Sunday morning host with her own engineer, and a freelance city council reporter (me, working from a home studio)
Or... you could do it completely online. http://radio.about.com/library/weekly/aa013003c.htm

Money and Connections. One can possibly compensate for lack of the other.
