Remember all those predictions of the demise of radio stations with the onslaught of new technology?

It now looks like many of them were a tad premature with the FCC?s recent report that there was an increase of 1.4%?or 215 stations?compared to 2012, according to Inside Radio. ?

The increase brings the total number of radio stations to 15,297.

The FCC noted in its report the number of AM stations was essentially flat ? there?s 4,736 licensed today.

The number of commercial FMs rose 1% over the past year to 6,606 while noncommercial FMs increased 5% to 3,957. In the most recent quarter alone there were 40 new noncommercial FMs licensed.

Meanwhile, the FCC says the number of low-power FMs has declined 3% during the past year. Halfway through 2012 there were 824 LPFMs ? today there are 797, with five more organizations turning in their license in the second quarter.
