The FCC issued a Public Notice on October 16, 2024, selecting from 2023 LPFM filing window mutually exclusive (MX) applications for further processing. The PN listed filings in a separate spreadsheet with selection criterion scores. Petitioners have 30 days to file objections to the selections. Applicants have 60 days to file Major Change (usually frequency move) amendments and 90 days to file frequency time share proposals.

Three San Diego area applicants were given the green light, forcing them to time share the 96.9 MHz channel each chose. The three applicants were:

• The Labors Training and Community Development Alliance with its site near the intersection of Interstate 5 and California State Highway 54.
• The Football Camp for Kids with transmitter in the same area.
• The Justice Overcoming Boundaries in San Diego County with the transmitter at Bonita Long Canyon Park.

The three parties could ask to share the channel with differing time schedules, or carry some or all of the programming over a merged operation. Sometimes parties get cold feet with the complications and expenses and quit the process altogether.
