FCC Broadcast Station Directory — every US TV / FM / AM / LPTV / translator

Dataset · Federal Communications Commission · source URL ↗

Complete US over-the-air broadcast station registry (~109,812 facilities, ~32,883 actively licensed) — full-power & low-power TV, FM, AM, Class A, and translators. Per station: call sign, service, channel, frequency, community of license, license status, and license-expiration date. Searchable by call sign or community, with a canonical /broadcast-station/{facility_id} page for every facility. Institution-level public station facts only — no ownership (the public CDBS bulk names only the party that filed each application, not the licensee) and no mailing addresses. From FCC CDBS bulk (key-free; frozen 2023-10-01 snapshot — the newer LMS is WAF-blocked).
