LECOM Seeks Radio Station License

In Thursday’s “Erie Times-News” (11/8/07), there is a very interesting article regarding The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) seeking a voice on the Erie airwaves. The college has filed an application with the FCC for a new station at 89.3 FM with a power output of 8,200 watts. The station would broadcast from the “Rocket 101” tower site in Ripley, New York after an agreement was reached between LECOM & Connoisseur Media LLC. According to LECOM spokesman Pierre Bellicini,  the non commercial station would broadcast medical information once all of the pieces are put together in about 2-3 years, pending FCC approval of the license.
