What is Low Power FM Radio (LPFM)?

You’ve might have heard the term LPFM radio – but what does it mean?

LPFM stations are community-based, non-commercial radio stations that reach local areas with news, music, culture, and emergency information. Unlike big corporate stations, LPFM stations are run by and for the people they serve.

Why LPFM matters in Siskiyou County:

• 📡 Delivers local news and events that matter most in each town.

• 🚨 Provides emergency alerts and real-time updates during wildfires, road closures, and natural disasters.

• 🎙️ Offers a platform for local voices, music, and culture that otherwise go unheard.

Radio SisQ’s 12-station LPFM network will connect communities across Siskiyou County.
