All stations are for sale, typically for an amount 1.5x billing + asset value. They can range from $20,000 to $20,000,000 easily if not more. You can also apply for your own directly from the FCC if you’d like… provided there’s a license available. Oh, typical transmitter power bill is upwards of $10k a month. Good luck!
