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

162 viewsEconomicsOther

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?

In the US 88.1 through 91.9 are reserved by the FCC for non-commercial educational broadcasters.

Non-profits (like churches), schools, NPR stations and stuff like that.
