73.805 Availability of channels

Unlike the other FM services in Part 73, all 100 channels between 88.1 and 107.9 are available for LPFM stations.

In New York City, 89.1 is reserved for use by the United Nations. The UN is not using this channel therefore the FCC has granted licenses for 89.1 around the New York City area with a condition that a station may have to cease operations or make changes in the event that the UN decides to start operating on 89.1.
