How much do LPFMs have to pay for music licensing?  That's got to be a
significant annual outlay, since an LPFM transmitter uses next to no
power and most are located where they pay no rent.  I've occasionally
thought about applying for one in Framingham, should they ever relax
the spacing rules sufficiently.

Now that TV channel 6 is effectively gone from most places, I wonder
if the Commission could be persuaded to open up channel 200 for LPFM?
There are likely lots of places where an LP10 or LP100 could fit on
87.9 that don't have any other channels presently available.
