Many stations get on the air for under $15,000 and can stay on the air for less than $1,000 per month. The main start-up expenses for a radio station are engineering fees, studio equipment for producing radio shows, and transmitting equipment for sending your signals out to the world. The main recurring costs are rent, utilities, and personnel. Note: that these numbers are tailored towards 100-watt LPFM stations.
It usually takes about six weeks for the results of a Praxis exam to be posted on their website. Whether you pass or fail depends on the requirements set out by each state. If you do not pass, you can take the test again in one month, up to six times per year.
This is the official retake policy from ETS, the organization in charge of the Praxis. They write, âIf you feel you did not perform to your potential, you may retake a Praxis test once every 21 days, not including your initial test date. This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously. All that means is that you need to wait 21 days before retaking the test.
