WBCA 102.9 FM History
In 2013, for the first time in ten years, the FCC opened applications for local Low-Power FM (LPFM) Radio licenses to community and civic organizations. The City of Boston applied for the license to provide residents with news and information, public safety programming, arts and entertainment and local or regional emergency information. Multiple qualified community organizations were also vying for one license, so we entered a sharing agreement under FCC guidelines. We share our signal with two other organizations:Â Lasell College (10:00 AM to 6:00 PM) and Global Ministries (2:00 AM to 10:00 AM.)Â Â
The City of Boston was granted a license-to-construct permit in 2015 for a new FCC Low Power FM (LPFM) radio station. WBCA 102.9 FM is operated and programmed by Boston Neighborhood Network Media (BNN Media ) from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM.
