Non-commercial Educational




The term non-commercial educational (NCE) applies to a Radio Station that does not accept or air advertisements, as defined in the U.S. by the FCC . NCE stations do not pay licensing fees for their non-profit use of the Radio Spectrum .

On the FM Broadcast Band , the FCC has reserved the lowest 20 channels, 201~220 (88.1~91.9 MHz ) for NCE stations only (called the Reserved Band ), and channel 200 (87.9MHz) only for Class D NCE stations (not including Translator s) forced to move by a full-power station. On the TV Band , individual channels are reserved, such that there is at least one in every area. NCE stations may also operate on a non-reserved channel.
