An opportunity for choral radio

Maybe some enterprising choir can take advantage of this:
Though interest in podcasts and Internet radio is growing exponentially, these formats have a long way to go before they supplant old-fashioned terrestrial radio. Traditional radios are ubiquitous, everyone knows how to use them, and we all grew up listening to them.

This October, for the first time in more than a decade (and probably for the last time ever), the FCC is giving nonprofits licenses to create and operate new radio stations. In a few years, we'll hear niche music on the radio again, on stations built by a handful of nonprofit organizations. Will yours be one of them?
