Well, that is why I started my CD company.  I didn't have to apply for
any grants.  I just talked a friend of mine and his wife, and my wife
into dumping a total of $10,000 ($5,000 for each couple) into the
enterprise.

I had considered the radio route, but all of the available frequencies
were taken in our market and the FCC responded with the statement, "you
already have a classical station." So much for what the FCC knows about
classical music.  So to accomplish this one would need to have enough
bucks to buy out one of the money making commercial stations...

Ok.  Does anyone know how to go about, or the costs of getting a station
going on satellite radio?
