Community/independently owned radio stations... (Islip, Buffalo: how much, school district, universities)

[ckhthankgod]

Knowing that many radio stations are owned by conglomerates/corporations(public/private, secular/religious) and knowing that these radio stations in Upstate NY are locally owned either by individuals/families, an organization, community center, etc., but not by a school district/college/university.

There are also some online radio stations like these out of Syracuse and Albany that may fit as well: https://wywmradio.com/

https://247urbanhits.com/

Are there any other radio stations within the state that fit the locally, independent owned profile that aren't owned by a major corporate/company entity, school/college/university?

Also, does anyone know what a person or group would have to do to get such a station up and running?

I'm curious as to what are some examples Downstate, particularly NYC.

All of the college radio stations. They are not all student run either. They have a lot of professional DJs.

Are they owned independent of the college or by the college?

It is attached to a school, but what I may do is add or make another thread with examples of school district and college led radio stations. That could actually serve as a guide for families or potential students looking into schools/colleges/universities with media outlet opportunities for students.

I will say that the stations listed are owned by and have formats that are diverse, which seems to be relatively impressive nowadays.

I also did this as examples of radio outlets that communities can create, if they aren’t currently present where they live.

I'm not sure how much the school has to do with it anymore. It's not student DJ's. It's funded by the listeners and has been around for 40 years or so.
