List of temporary broadcasting stations in the United States

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

List of temporary broadcasting stations in the United States is a review of broadcasting stations which were not issued standard licenses, but instead were given temporary authorizations, to be used for special purposes and limited time periods. In a small number of cases these authorizations were followed by a standard license, or this represented a short-term revival of a previously licensed station. However, in most cases the stations expired immediately after their intended purpose was fulfilled.

Information about these stations is somewhat limited. The monthly issues of the Radio Service Bulletin, and the annual station lists issued by the U.S. government, regularly reported the status of stations operating under standard licenses. However, in general these publications did not include information about temporary stations, although basic information about these grants was included in station card files maintained by the government.
