Summary
Radio stations across the U.S. want to change the towns they officially serve, like moving from one city to another nearby. This affects AM and FM broadcasters who need to get approval and invites the public to comment by July 13, 2026. These moves could shake up local radio options but won’t cost listeners a dime—just some paperwork and deadlines for the stations.
