KELB-LP
KELB-LP is a short-range, low-power FM radio station. The LP suffix indicates it is a Low Power FM (LPFM) station, a non-commercial educational broadcasting service licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. LPFM stations operate with a limited service area, typically broadcasting to a radius of a few miles, and are intended to serve local communities.
The KELB portion represents the station's call sign, a unique identifier assigned by the FCC to each broadcasting station. Call signs in the United States typically begin with "K" east of the Mississippi River and "W" west of the Mississippi River; however, there are some exceptions. The meaning of a specific call sign can sometimes be related to the community the station serves, the organization owning the station, or have a completely arbitrary origin.
LPFM stations like KELB-LP are often operated by non-profit organizations, educational institutions, or community groups. They provide a platform for local programming, including music, news, public affairs, and educational content. The licensing process for LPFM stations is designed to promote diversity in media ownership and provide access to the airwaves for community voices.
The specific programming and operational characteristics of KELB-LP would depend on the licensee and the needs of the community it serves. Details such as broadcast frequency, operating hours, and program content would be available through the FCC's licensing database and potentially from the station itself.
