Such low-power station licenses have not been issued for more than 20 years.

In some countries, a separate "station license" is required for any station used by an amateur radio operator.

There have been various claims that no amateur station licenses have been issued since.

Indeed, in the 1990's, radio has thrived, with revenues up substantially and station licenses trading near record highs.

The station license is currently owned by 980 AM, Inc.

Amateur station licenses were separately issued on plainer forms.

Following the award of the station license, NE1fm began preparations for launch, advertising for volunteers in 2007.

The two stations merged facilities, including studios and transmitters but retained both station licenses.

The station license, as well as the studio equipment, went to Vincennes University.

The actual transfer of the station license was not completed until June 16, 2008.
