Low-power broadcasting refers to a broadcast station operating at a low electrical power to a smaller service area than "full power" stations within the same region, but often distinguished from "micropower broadcasting" (more commonly "microbroadcasting") and broadcast translators. LPFM, LPAM and LPTV are in various levels of use across the world, varying widely based on the laws and their enforcement.
Canada
Radio communications in Canada are regulated by the Radio Communications and Broadcasting Regulatory Branch, a branch of Industry Canada, in conjunction with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Interested parties must apply for both a certificate from Industry Canada and a license from CRTC in order to operate a radio station. Industry Canada manages the technicalities of spectrum space and technological requirements whereas content regulation is conducted more so by CRTC.
LPFM is broken up into two classes in Canada, Low (50 watts) and Very Low (10 watts). The transmitters therefore range from 1 to 50 watts, as opposed to 1 to 100 watts in the U.S. As of 2000, 500 licenses (very low and low-power FM) have been issued. These transmitters are generally only allowed in remote areas.

Build your own FM Radio Station, Low Power FM
Building a Radio Station doesn’t have to be expensive. In this video I’ll show you a few of the components I use to get audio from my studio to the airwaves!
Please follow the rules and regulations in your area.
Some projects I’ve worked on in the past are now licensed FM radio stations.

If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

By Harry Porterfield, ABC 7 Chicago - more at http://www.nexusbroadcast.com
March 10, 2009 (Round Lake Heights, Ill) -- A radio station in far north suburban Round Lake Heights is like many of their competitors-- except the staff and management are all volunteers.
WRLR-FM calls the low-powered station true community radio. DJ Mark Shanahan hosts the Do Wop Hour at 98.3 FM. Bish Krywko is the station's founder.
"I went in front of village boards. I went in front of park district boards and library boards and all sorts of organizations and said, 'Here's my idea here's my concept will you buy into it?' And they're all like, 'Not a chance in hell,'" said Krywko.
Three and a half years later, WRLR-FM is the only low-power FM station in Illinois not affiliated with a school or church.

CityStream: Low Power FM Radio Stations
New citizen-run and somewhat quirky radio stations are hitting Seattle airwaves. In 2011, a law set aside space on the FM dial for neighborhood stations that could broadcast up to 10 miles. But, it's "use it or lose it", and thousands of people across Seattle are working to get stations on the air ... or lose their spot on the dial.

March 10, 2009 (Round Lake Heights, Ill) -- A radio station in far north suburban Round Lake Heights is like many of their competitors-- except the staff and management are all volunteers.
WRLR-FM calls the low-powered station true community radio. DJ Mark Shanahan hosts the Do Wop Hour at 98.3 FM. Bish Krywko is the station's founder.
"I went in front of village boards. I went in front of park district boards and library boards and all sorts of organizations and said, 'Here's my idea here's my concept will you buy into it?' And they're all like, 'Not a chance in hell,'" said Krywko.
Three and a half years later, WRLR-FM is the only low-power FM station in Illinois not affiliated with a school or church.
"I'm not only a dj here, I'm the treasurer of the radio station, on the board of directors. I wear a lot of hats," said Allan Bergh, volunteer, DJ.
A low power station signal can reach 15 to 20 miles away. Many of Rich Kingsley's listeners are veterans.
"We all touch lots of peoples lives. I do a lot for the military. I have shows playing on Iraq, Afghanistan. I do lot at the VA hospital at North Chicago and Hines," said Rich Kingsley, volunteer DJ.
When the police moved out they left behind an empty jail cell which now houses the transmitter.
Carolyn Howard oversees the scheduling of commercials as the station's traffic manager. She also co-hosts a show. "I really enjoy what I do here. I love giving Carolyn a hard time," said Clark Edwards, volunteer DJ.
"And I bring all my talents and all the skills that I have, anything I can do for this station," said Carolyn Howard, volunteer DJ.
"They allow me total freedom to do what ever I want on the air as long as its within FCC guides. It's just amazing," said Dan Labuda, volunteer DJ.
