About
In November 2013, Historic Takoma Inc applied to the FCC for a broadcast license. In 2015, they gave us permission to build, and on July 16, 2016, we went live as WOWD-LP on 94.3fm, streaming globally on TakomaRadio.org. In 2024, we became our own independent 501(c)(3): Takoma Radio Inc, and acquired WOWD-LP’s broadcast license. LPFM, or Low Power FM, is regular FM radio that operates at 100 watts or less. Our signal is 20 watts, reaching a 5+ mile radius from our antenna in downtown Takoma Park. We have a potential local listenership of 250,000. We provide a radio alternative to an international crossroads, including neighborhoods in NE and NW DC, MoCo, PG; and even pockets of NoVa.
