Why are “low budget” radio stations on lower frequency?

Question

In my experience the “Clear Channel” radio stations(With huge money backing) always have from like 101.1-107.9 and the “niche religious stations” are always in the 89.1-92.1 area.

Is there a reason for this as far as bandwith goes or price to broadcast?
