I want to setup an FM Radio station. Can any one guide me where can I find the info or any other guidance? Tnx

Answer 1

I would start at the bank. This is going to be expensive. You will need:
1. studio space
2. A transmitter site
3. a control panel
4. CD players, at least 3 commercial quality
5. a transmitter
6. a link to the transmitter if it is at a site different from you studio. If your studio and transmitter are at the same site you will need a lot of RF shielding so the signal from your antenna won't invade your electronics and degrade your signal.
7. an antenna
8. a library of music or other program material
9, an air staff of announcers etc.
10. an office staff
11. an engineer/technician to maintain your equipment. This person must have a first class radio telephone license from the FCC
12. someone to install your equipment
13. a sales staff to sell commercial time to pay your bills
14. a construction permit from the FCC
15. a license from the FCC
16. possibly permits and craftsmen to build your studio or transmitter site
17. electrical hookup to the power company
18. telephone service
19. water service. Your staff will get thirsty and will need to use the rest room
20. a lawyer
If you've got the money, it would be a whole lot simpler to buy an existing station and program it as you like.

I don't mean to throw a wet blanket on your parade, but there's a whole lot more to setting up and running a radio station than setting up a home stereo.

Answer 2

An odd question. For a business or a hobby? If a business, no point in going further, you're way out of your league already.

For a hobby, you may well be out of your league already. Amateurs can operate transmitters, but they're subject to a lot of FCC restrictions, and your permissable range probably won't extend beyond your front yard. Not to mention the technical knowledge to make it all work to begin with.

You might start with an amateur radio club, otherwise known as ham operators. This is one link; there are many others.
