The FCC removed empty FM radio channels from its public list
What happened
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) removed certain unused FM radio channels from its official public list. These channels were previously auctioned off and are now either licensed or reserved, so they no longer appear as available.
Why it matters
This change means the public list of available FM radio channels is now more accurate. It removes channels that were already assigned or reserved, making it clearer which frequencies are actually open for new broadcasters. This is a small administrative cleanup, not a shift in how radio licenses are granted.
The signal
Watch for any new FCC announcements regarding future FM spectrum auctions, which would indicate new channels are being made available.
